This past weekend saw the 4 best teams of the ESL Premiership come head to head in the grand final for the summer season. This saw Infused, Choke Gaming, XENEX and United Estonia Smash play off in London at MCM Comic Con.
Game one saw Infused gaming play off against Choke gaming playing all three maps with Choke taking the first Map on Dust 2 but failing to capitalise and losing on both Inferno and Mirage allowing Infused to take the first game and go for the finals. With Infused waiting for the winner XENNEX and UESmash played it out for the 2nd match of the day. This game only went 2 games with UESmash managing to take the first game on Cache and continue the roll into taking the win in 2 on Dust 2.
