Today was the big Final Day of the ESL Pro Series Season 12 Finals and all the matches have been finished now. Even though some were finished really fast they still were great games.Now the 12th ESL Pro Series has officially finished with some great matches in Counter-Strike 1.6, Counter-Strike: Source, Warcraft III, FIFA 2008 and World in Conflict. All the Grand Finals were played today with exception of the FIFA 2008 1on1 which was played yesterday already.
First the World in Conflict match was played where n!faculty beat KomaCrew winning the first ESL Pro Series in World in Conflict. Shortly after that the Counter-Strike: Source match was played with a surprising Speed-Link facing Team Alternate in the finals. The current champion n!faculty was not able to qualify for the finals and rather have to play the relegation in order to re-qualify for the next ESL Pro Series Season.
Alternate just played an awesome tournament more or less dominating all their opponents and getting their third title now. After Counter-Strike: Source has been finished, SK Gaming made their first appearance on this day with SK Gaming FIFA meeting hoorai in the FIFA 2008 5on5 Grand Final.
Hoorai managed to be on top after the first half of matches being up 6-4 but SK made it and got their fifth title in a row, winning with 11-9 overall. Only the Warcraft III Grand Final wasn't as exciting where aTTaX|XlorD again dominated raptor|HLA and took home his first title.
The big Grand Final in Counter-Strike 1.6 just finished a few minutes ago where mousesports were coming from the Lowerbracket defeating Team Alternate in yesterdays match. Their opponent n!faculty already beat both favorites before but this time they just couldn't do it again. The first half of the first map de_tuscan looked pretty clear for mousesports already being up 12-3. Still n!faculty put up a great fight but lost 13-16 in the end.
Mousesports then had to play de_inferno as second and last map where they just dominated n!faculty all the time winning 16-2 overall. This means mousesports is the new Counter-Strike 1.6 champion after losing the last two times to aTTaX and also it is the first time for them to win the Summer Season.
