DBL PONEY qualified for ESL Challenger Anaheim 2022

The French team DBL PONEY qualified for ESL Challenger Anaheim 2022. Following the results of the closed qualification from Europe, the team earned the only ticket from their region. In the final of the closed qualifier, DBL PONEY outplayed the Savage team with a score of 2: 1.

The event for the team began with two difficult victories over Team Spirit (2: 1) and Sprout (2: 0), which resulted in the French reaching the final of the upper bracket. Here DBL PONEY faced Savage for the first time, but easily enough closed her opponent with a score of 2: 0 and advanced to the grand final of the qualifiers.

The final of the qualification was not in favor of the French, since the team lost on the first map, finding themselves in the role of a catch-up. However, DBL PONEY quickly regained the status quo, leveling the score after a successful play on Vertigo, and then snatched the victory thanks to a well-thought-out attack on Inferno - 2: 1.
