Across the series Persson had 65 kills and 36 deaths, an average damage per round of 106.8 and a KAST of 78.7%, with an overall rating of 1.75. Simon ‘twist’ Eliasson went 44-38 with a 1.20 rating; Arvid ‘avid’ Åberg was 37-38 with a 1.04 rating; Sean ‘eraa’ Knutsson finished 46-39 with a 0.97 rating; Markus ‘upE’ Johansson recorded 29-36 with a 0.85 rating.

Alliance’s recent results include a ROG JOURNEY Spring title, third-place finishes at Roman Imperium Cup VI and DraculaN Season 6, and a ROG JOURNEY Summer win three weeks ago. In the XSE Pro League group stage they beat Ninjas in Pyjamas, B8 and 9z and only lost to PARIVISION. The team narrowly missed IEM Cologne Major qualification and did not complete a permanent transfer for Liam ‘MaiL09’ Tügel in June; Persson joined Alliance after that period.

With the quarter-final victory Alliance advance to the XSE semi-finals and will face 9z in a rematch. Nemesis were eliminated from the XSE Pro League playoff bracket.
