Ilbirs eSports has left EPL Masters I

Ilbirs eSports lost their elimination match against Zero Tenacity in the lower bracket of EPL Masters I, becoming the second team to be eliminated from the tournament during the playoffs.

In the first game, neither team had a significant advantage at the start, but in the mid-game, Z10 maintained a small gold lead for a long time and significantly increased it in the late game. By the mid-game of the second map, Ilbirs was trailing by 2,000 to 3,000 gold; their opponent began to control the map and did not allow the team to make a comeback until the end of the game.

As a result, Ilbirs tied for 7th–8th place with Power Rangers, a position for which no prize money is awarded.

EPL Masters I is taking place online from July 26 to August 12. As of now, six participants remain, among whom the entire prize pool—totaling $100,000 for the first tournament of the new series—will be distributed.
