LGB eSports have qualified for FACEIT League 2015 after beating No Problem! 2-0 in the closed qualifier (16-14 on de_cache, 16-8 on de_mirage).

LGB, who were created only a few weeks ago by putting together two former London Conspiracy members and three up-and-coming Norwegian talents, had secured a place in FACEIT's closed qualifier after finishing in the top two of the first open qualifier, together with mousesports. 

Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel's side turned in a convincing display in the first round of the closed qualifier and moved past the new HellRaisers team 2-1 after losing the first map of the series.

Against No Problem!, led by former Copenhagen Wolves talent Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander, the match was at first plagued by DDoS attacks and network issues, with Morten "⁠zEVES⁠" Vollan Christensen accusing the Danish team of pulling all sorts of tricks to get the upper hand.

Shortly after the game was taken off stream, it was resumed without further incidents, and in the end LGB came out on top with a 16-14 victory on de_cache and a 16-8 success on de_mirage.
