ESG! have earned a spot at this year's DreamHack Summer event with a 2-1 victory over Epsilon in the qualifier at Inferno Online Stockholm. The qualifier featured a total of 13 teams from all over Sweden, including a high profile trio of Lemondogs, Absolute Legends and Epsilon. Absolute Legends, who played under the name Crave Gaming, had in this tournament their first test with Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi as a replacement for Joel "emilio" Mako, but they were given a bitter pill to swallow as they were defeated by Epsilon 2-0 in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Lemondogs, playing with Joel "emilio" Mako as a stand-in, did not fare any better, and were, too, eliminated in the last-four stage, courtesy of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of ESG!. If reaching the final was already an impressive accomplishment for this mix team, ESG! took it even one step further and defeated Epsilon 2-1 (14-16 on de_inferno_se, 16-4 on de_dust2_se, 16-12 on de_train_se).
