Following the results of the semi-finals this afternoon, the Grand Final of Dreamhack London got off to an explosive start as the two most predicted finalists duked it out for the win.
The final was an insane, somewhat battle of the Titans as Danish team TSM went head to head with the French side, Team EnVyUs, who still proved to be the forever thorn in TSM’s side with game 1 kicking off on Dust 2. The first half started off with some electric game play between both teams, TSM stomping the first round, to then come back swinging in round 4 with Karrigan dominating at B, after some dynamite game play by KennyS, giving EnVyUs the 2nd and 3rd.
TSM adopted the always aggressive play style, pushing hard on EnVyUs and forcing them to take the time out, which then allowed EnVyUs to switch and pull back almost dominating and taking the first half as a victory. The 2nd half had TSM come back with a vengeance and really tried to build momentum, they looked strong and displayed some swift game play to begin with, but EnVyUs once again refused to be locked down, bounced back and took game 1 as their own, with a 16:13 victory.
Game 2 followed a similar viewing experience as Game 1. TSM once again looked strong to start with, having Karrigan rack up a sweet Ace in round 4 and device display some absolute God-like positioning at Fountain, which built them a nice economy and gave them the AWP’s at some crucial points. TSM had a solid lead and once again proved that they came to play. EnVyUs had some nice passive rounds and some small pick offs, which slowly built them up to a safe point of defence and ultimately were able to push back, moving around the map like a well-oiled machine, giving them 7 consecutive rounds and built their momentum, taking the first half as their victory.
The second half was much the same as the first game, with TSM refusing to go down without a fight, but with EnVyUs having such a rapid play style, Happy dominated and got himself a beautiful ace at banana with his Deagle. Once more with the tactical time out being taken by EnVyUs, they left no breathing space for TSM and as much as the Danish Giants tried to pull back, they were shut down, EnVyUs pummelled them round by round and crushed them with a 16:13 victory, and leading them to be the winners of the Grand Finals Dreamhack London!
