In the league’s playoffs, Conquer’s players were able to erase their disappointment from the previous 2021 eSM tournament. At that time, Nissi and Munukka in the ranks of Nyyrikki Esports lost to HAVU Gaming in the final of the tournament, Lentonen was left in the semi-finals with SJ, and Astikainen and Kauppi experienced the same fate in hREDS’ shirt.

This year, the reigning champion HAVU Gaming did not participate in the eSM competitions organized in league format for the first time. The reason given by the organization was disappointment with the league’s arrangements.

The cooperation agreement between the Finnish Electronic Sports Association, which awards the eSM title, and TBZ Esports, which was responsible for the operation of the league, was terminated in November in the middle of the league season. SEOUL organized the end of the league season on its own and the series is not getting a continuation, as the association has already said that the eSM competitions of the CS:GO game will return to tournament format this year.
