Day one of the ASUS Masters saw two Ukrainian teams in the semifinals - Amazing Gaming and Coming Soon (ex-HellRaisers) and the elimination of favorites Virtus.Pro long before the playoff stage.

On the other side of the brackets, EYESports (ex-Begrip) won over Coming Soon with the same score of 16 rounds to 11 on train and nuke.

In the final match, The Ukrainians of Amazing Gaming were better than EYESports in three very close games, thus taking the third ASUS Masters title, the long awaited victory and ~$6,250 in prize money.

Andrew "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy
Sergey "starix" Ischuk
