ESEA S10 finals this weekend

ESEA's tenth season's online phase is complete and it's time for the LAN finals where North America's six best teams will battle it out for a shot at $10,000.

Season 10 will be the first one to not feature Evil Geniuses at the LAN finals as the team disbanded a little over half way through the season with Paul "pauLy" Guerboyan rejoining Nazar "steno" Vynnytsky in Ultimax Gaming.

In the online season Kory "semphis" Friesen's Back2Back Gaming ended up on top with a 14-2 record, closely trailed by Check Six featuring former coL and EG players Danny "fRoD" Montaner and Tyler "Storm" Wood.

Seedings:

1. Back2Back (ele1Nt, semphis, sgares, sobo, swag)
2. Check Six (dizzaman, fRoD, hiko, Storm, Xp3)
3. mouseSpaz (BOG, fiasco, FNS, LilmaN, reltuC)
4. UMX (flowsicK, impsta, pauLy, steno, truls)
5. Black and White (btk, hostile, peachie, projeckt, quas)
6. HRG (Heppler, perez, seraphic, b0n3z, khayes)

As always the event will be played out in a double elimination best-of-three format where the grand final will feature up to two best-of-three series. First two maps are pre-determined for each round, while vetoing and a draw will be used to determine the final map if necessary.
