RESULTS
The first day of the finals we saw Astralis swiftly shut down Evil Geniuses followed by G2’s smackdown of Furia. Day two was when things really got interesting though. Aside from Evil Geniuses beating G2 and Vitality beating complexity, we also got to be surprised when Team Liquid sent Na’Vi straight to the losers’ bracket. In the Liquid v. Na’Vi game, we got to see great performances by all players involved; however, Team Liquids recent addition of FalleN seems to have paid off. The third day saw Complexity v. Navi (1-2), Astralis v. G2 (2-1), and Vitality v. Team Liquid (2-0). On the fourth day it was Evil Geniuses v. Team Liquid (1-2) and Na’Vi v. G2 (2-0). The fifth day brought us Astralis v. Vitality (2-1) and Na’Vi v. Team Liquid (2-0). Finally, on the sixth day we first got to Na’Vi defend their chance at the finals against Vitality followed up by the mind-blowing grand final featuring Astralis v. Navi. In that game spectators were somewhat surprised when the #1 team in the world was swiftly and deftly put in their new place by team Na’Vi.
