Signature Gaming, the squad from Thailand proved triumphant in the SEA quals, dropping just one map and winning 6 to move onto the ESL Pro League Season 7 APAC finals.

They started off with an easy 2-0 over the Vietnamese side, GameTV, followed by another clean sweep against fellow countrymen, Beyond Esports. In the WIB finals, Signature were up against favorites, B.O.O.T dreamScape but managed to carve out a close win to pick up the slot in the LAN finals.

While d[S] out-aimed them on Mirage, Signature came back to win a close OT match on Cache. On the decider, Signature Gaming started off on the CT side, showing some great poise to pick up 5 rounds in a row and establish a 10-5 lead. With the pistol round after the switch, going their way, it was only a matter of time before they closed out the series with a 16-7 win.

B.O.O.T d[S] are in no means out of it yet as one more qualifier spot can still be reclaimed by the winner. Mineski and Recca Esports will have to fight it out to decide who takes on d[S] for a chance to qualify for the LAN.

Signature have now joined, Grayhound Gaming, ORDER, MVP PK, Flash Gaming, and The MongolZ in the LAN finale.
