SportsGamers,
last week we have seen one of the most intense ECL Neo finals here on SportsGamer.gg! The German outfit Flaschback Skwad faced the Darra Stars in the Best-of-5 final. After being down 1-2 in the series, the experienced Germans managed to turn the finals around to bring the first ECL Neo title to the DACH-community. We could not have asked for any more tension than an exciting deciding game 5 OT-thriller as the "Skwad" managed to equalize a two-goal-deficit in the dying seconds of the game. Assistant-Captain Jonas @kandykills Fleischmann was the OT-hero as he hit the championship shot with a cheeky deflection! Captain Stefan @Toews19(BarriosLucas18) Schoierer was one of the most prolific scorers in the regular season (18GP: 36G + 38A) and during their playoff run (16GP: 31G + 19A). After a more than dominant playoff run the Germans stayed focussed and maintained their status as one of the juggernauts in ECL'23 Spring Neo!
