A Wicadia Nuke masterclass got the international squad over the line.

Aurora became the next team to qualify for the ESL Pro League Season 24 playoffs after defeating FURIA in a three-map series (Dust2 8-13, Mirage 13-9, Nuke 13-9).

Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo and company drop into the 2-2 pool, where big names like Spirit and PARIVISION are also waiting.

The match began on Dust2, where a back-and-forth first half was followed up by FURIA 's T-side dominance. Aurora were only able to win two rounds on their defense as Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato led the way with a 2.22 T-side rating, allowing FURIA to take their opponents map pick with a 13-8 scoreline.

Aurora answered on Mirage, however, finding themselves 12-5 up after a dominant performance before losing a 2vs5 post-plant. That shook their confidence and meant they had some issues closing it out. Ali "⁠Wicadia⁠" Haydar Yalçın 's 1vs2 got them over the line, though, as Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos disconnected due to switching teams by mistake .

The Turkish rifler kept up a fantastic performance on Nuke, winning a superb 1vs4 and finishing the map with 23 kills, 109.5 ADR, and a 1.51 rating.
