ORDER will be Oceania's representative at the ESL Pro League Season 8 Finals after beating Grayhound in the final of the regional qualifier. Eight teams from across Oceania took part in this double-elimination qualifier for the chance to represent the region at the upcoming Pro League event, where $750,000 will be on the line. ORDER, who brought in Joshua "INS" Potter and Charlie "zeph" Dodd during the recent Oceanic shuffle, were the first team to secure a spot in the grand final after beating Ground Zero 2-0 and edging past Tainted Minds and Grayhound in close three-map series. Down to the lower bracket, Erdenetsogt "erkaSt" Gantulga's men breezed past Chiefs to progress to the final, but they knew they had a mountain to climb to overcome the one-map disadvantage they had heading into the match. Grayhound were unfazed by the task at hand, however, and levelled the series with a close victory on Cache before ORDER restored a one-map lead with a convincing Dust2 display. The next map, Mirage, went down to the wire, with Grayhound recovering from an 8-14 deficit to take the game to overtime, only to falter in the extra rounds. This will be ORDER's third-ever appearance at a Big Event, after IEM Katowice and IEM Sydney, both of which took place earlier this year. In the Polish city, the Australian side went out 13th-16th, but they fared better at the tournament down under, where they came close to eliminating Cloud9 in the groups. The ESL Pro League Season 8 Finals will run from December 4-9 at the Sparekassen Fyn Arena, in Odense, where 16 teams will be facing off for the grand prize of $250,000. The team list for the Danish event currently looks as follows:ORDER
