The PGL Astana Europe Closed Qualifier has reached its grand final, with Ninjas in Pyjamas and Metizport now set to clash for a spot at the Kazakhstani event.
The teams qualified for the final after Metizport dispatched Nemiga and Ninjas in Pyjamas beat B8 in the other semi-final.
That sets up the teams for a best-of-five clash for qualification on Tuesday at 16:00. The match will undoubtedly have a unique edge, as four of the five Metizport members donned a Ninjas in Pyjamas jersey at some point in their career.
Hampus “hampus” Poser and Nicolas “Plopski” Gonzalez Zamora dedicated over three years to the Swedish organization, while Isak “isak” Fahlén departed at the beginning of 2025 to join Metizport. Meanwhile, Adam “adamb” Ångström spent more than a year with Young Ninjas before moving to his current team.
