From emergency replacements to Melbourne Champions: Movistar Riders win big at ESL Challenger
A week ago, Movistar Riders were ruing a missedx shot at CS:GO’s last Major, failing to qualify for BLAST Paris with early exits at the European RMR qualifiers. But on April 30, the Spanish squad defied the odds halfway around the world at ESL Challenger Melbourne.
Receiving a late invitation to DreamHack down under after The MongolZ withdrew to prepare for Paris, Movistar Riders went undefeated to win ESL Challenger Melbourne, the $50,000 prize, and a spot in ESL Pro League Season 18.
