In one of the most dominant campaigns that we have seen in Lite Division history, (1) Nordic Stars have been crowned Lite Division Champions for the ECL '24: Spring season. Nordic Stars clinched the title with a 4-0 series sweep against (3) Zenegeim in the Finals. They are the third team in Lite Division history to win the title as the top overall seed, joining Sack Brothers (ECL 10) and Bjorkloven Esport (ECL 11) as the only teams to have done so. Nordic Stars' ECL 24' Spring Lite championship roster pictured from left to right: @Macentoitunu @Vire30 @Katunarski @Kim_20_00_ @Jerax13 @SakkeTheEngineer Led by an experienced core group of players that has spent much of its time in the Pro and Elite divisions, Nordic Stars were able to put together one of the most impressive seasons that we have seen in some time; compiling a record of 23-1-0-2 during the regular season for 71 points in the standings, losing just two games during that time and earning the top seed in the playoff bracket. They then continued their dominant form in the postseason; only losing one game during their playoff run, a 2-1 loss against (6) Sawolanche in Game 4 of the Semifinals. After last playing in the Elite Division in the ECL '23: Spring season, Nordic Stars returned to the ECL this season and opted to make the move back down to the Lite Division. Nordic Stars is one of the ECL's original 50 teams, as the club debuted during the ECL's inaugural season in 2015. The club has since played in 505 games across various tournaments, accumulating a record of 319-149-47. This is Nordic Stars' first ECL championship in club history. We got to chat with Nordic Stars captain Valtteri @Vire30 Vireaho, who has been with the club since ECL 8 and became the team's main captain in ECL 11 about the team's dominant run, why they made the decision to move to the Lite Division and what this title victory means to him and the team.
