ORDER sweep AVANT to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 12

ORDER topped the ESL Pro League Season 12 Oceania qualifier after sweeping AVANT in the grand final, securing a spot at the main event starting in September.

Alistair "⁠aliStair⁠" Johnston's side will join two of their countrymen, 100 Thieves and Renegades, in the 12th season of ESL Pro League, which will mark ORDER's first big international event since the eighth season of the league in late 2018, should the Australians attend the event as planned under the current circumstances.

ORDER overcame the default map disadvantage to win the best-of-five

The double-elimination qualifier saw ORDER and AVANT reach the grand final as expected, with the latter earning a map advantage in the title decider after taking down Ricardo "⁠Rickeh⁠" Mulholland's team in the upper final in a closely-contested series.

In the best-of-five rematch, ORDER overcame the odds, winning their first series against Mike "⁠ap0c⁠" Aliferis's team in five attempts since March in convincing fashion, coming back from a lopsided start on Mirage before toppling their regional rivals on Train and Nuke.
