At the same time Monte will face Forze, the loser will be eliminated from ESL Pro League Season 19. Last time Monte won, which hints at another exciting encounter in which the loser will leave the tournament.
This Friday's match will not only test GamerLegion's resilience, but will also be a testing ground for Ence's tactical adjustments after their last defeat.
