Aurora Gaming have secured a place in the Europe Qualifier 1 final after defeating Pixel Lumina 2-0 in their best-of-three semi-final on Tuesday.
Aurora claimed the opening map after 41 minutes before wrapping up the second in 35 minutes, completing an impressive comeback after their earlier elimination by BONK.
Aurora’s return to the competition followed Riot Games’ decision to disqualify BONK after an investigation confirmed that a team participant had used unauthorised cheating software.
The ruling also resulted in provisional suspensions for BONK’s players and registered participants, forcing organisers to revise the qualifier schedule and replay affected matches.
The team, featuring Boo, chiwa, Derke, B1SK and trexx, will now face the winner of the match between xXxMasterProMegaTeamxXx and F9 EICAR in the final.
Aurora have already secured qualification for the Kickoff Qualifier Playoffs, meaning the final will determine their seeding rather than their survival, as they continue their pursuit of a place at VCT EMEA Kickoff 2027 in Berlin.
