“OH MY GOD WE MADE PRO LEAGUE,” Vodery said on social media after receiving the news.
While Oversleepers did not qualify for ALGS through the Pre-Season Qualifiers, the team did have some impressive results. Across the four weeks of play, the team placed in the top 20 three times and even recorded a fifth-place finish in week three.
