Na`Vi and Echo Fox shared the spoils in the first match of ELEAGUE's Group E (16-6 for Na`Vi on Train and 16-11 for Echo Fox on Dust2).

Week five of ELEAGUE began with a clash featuring Natus Vincere, who have not attended an event since the StarLadder i-League Invitational #1, and the new Echo Fox lineup, featuring former Cloud9 member Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir.

Train kicked off the series, and despite getting out to a 3-0 lead, Echo Fox struggled to keep up with Na`Vi once the gun rounds started rolling as the CIS side cruised to a 10-5 advantage at the end of the half.

After that came Dust2, where Echo Fox were simply far too hot to handle as they took a 12-3 lead after a fantastic display on the CT side.

After switching sides, Na`Vi started grinding out rounds and even reduced the deficit to two rounds, but then they were caught off-guard by an eco round from the North Americans, who went on to add the next two rounds to pick up a surprising victory.
