The final series was between Team Heretics and Team Finest. It would not be a lie if we said that we watched the most comfortable matches on behalf of going to the First Strike Europe finals. Because Team Heretics was the leading side in the first two games. They won the first game by 13-3 on the Ascent map and the second game by 13-2 on the Bind map. They managed to become the last team to go to the main event.
Congratulations to Turkish player pAura and his team, Team Heretics, for participating in the First Strike European finals. We are also happy to see our two representatives, cNed and pAura, at the main tournament in Europe.
