A recap of Porsche Coanda Esports Racing Team’s Joashua Roger’s way to victory at the ESL R1 Fall Major.

11/29/2023

Catch a cold, bring the heat.

A recap of Porsche Coanda Esports Racing Team’s Joashua Roger’s way to victory at the ESL R1 Fall Major.

Temperatures were below freezing point in Jönköping, Sweden, when Joshua Rogers, Dayne Warren and Mitchel deJong arrived at the internationally renowned winter edition of DreamHack Esports festival. Soon after however, Rogers would find himself in hot pursuit of the coveted title of ESL R1 driver champion and with the help of his team colleagues he was able to take it.

 

Things started off challenging in the group stage heats on day one. Rogers, who was battling a cold, never managed to push beyond a p6 finish. Similarly, his teammates struggled. Whilst Mitchel deJong couldn’t secure a position for day two, Dayne Warren’s struggle payed off when his p3 in the fourth race catapulted him into the final grid comprised of the 12 best racers. Rogers meanwhile had his position on the final day of racing already halfway secured due to his performance leading up to the Fall Major and thus was able to move on to the last day despite his cold trying to hold him back.

 

Then the last day arrived. Only 12 racers were left, all competing for the title. To get there they had to unlock finalist mode first by reaching at least 160 points over the course of the tournament. Only then, after having secured 160 points their next win would mean winning the driver champion title.

 

Pitted against a strong field Rogers and Warren raced in a tough environment. Especially Sebastian Job from G2 Esports, who delivered a notable performance on day one, seemed to have been dead set on taking the title for himself. With Warren starting at 50 points into day two and Rogers at 64, they were clearly behind Job, who stood at a whopping 100 points. But this just fueled the team’s competitive flame, igniting the final spark they needed to propel themselves to victory.

 

Joshua Rogers started out on p4 and finished on p1 in the first race at the Circuit de Spa. Then he went on to dominate races three and five at Hockenheim and Road Atlanta, finally leaving him as the leader of the standings with 143 points for the first time in the competition. Dayne Warren proved to be a remarkable team colleague to Rogers. Not only did Warren secure a pole position start in race one, and two second-place finishes, but also he defended Rogers incredibly smart and reliably against attack maneuvers from the back, as he approached the 160 points needed for a shot at the title Still, before Rogers was able to, Daire McCormack from Williams Esports activated finalist mode in race seven. Only a tough and decisive pushback in race eight by Rogers and Warren kept him from reaching for the crown – and let Rogers activate finalist mode himself. And then: Victory. One fantastic race later he had finished on p1, making him the ESL R1 driver champion of the fall season 2023. A well-deserved title, with a 40,000 Euro cash-prize cherry on top – especially after having won five of nine races in total. We congratulate the entire team for P2 in the Team-Championship and Joshua Rogers in particular for this inspiring feat.
