The European mix dominated ex-Finest in two maps to clinch a grand final berth at Elisa Invitational Fall and a spot at the Finnish LAN tournament.

GamerLegion blew past ex-Finest 2-0 at the Elisa Invitational Fall semi-final to secure a spot in the grand final. They were in full control on their opponents' map pick Vertigo and scored a 16-4 win before finishing the job on Mirage with a convincing 16-7 victory.

Mihai "⁠iM⁠" Ivan was the driving force in GamerLegion's victory as the Romanian put up 48 kills and a 1.75 rating, the best among anyone on the server. The European mix continue their charge for first place and the $12,500 in prize money, but by reaching the grand final GamerLegion have already clinched a spot at Elisa Masters Espoo.

GamerLegion have been on the way up ever since their lineup revamp in August, bringing in Frederik "⁠acoR⁠" Gyldstrand, Nicolas "⁠Keoz⁠" Dgus, and Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek.

In late August they qualified for the Europe Regional Major Ranking tournament and made their presence felt at the RMR in early October by taking reigning Major champions FaZe to quadruple-overtime in their opening bout. They fell to the 1-2 pool by the second day of play, but bounced back and stunned G2 on the way to securing a spot at the IEM Rio Major.

GamerLegion join the likes of Astralis, MOUZ, and ENCE at the $200,000 competition, which will be held on November 16-20, shortly following the conclusion of the Major. The current team list is as follows:
