PGS/MYM make history with 2nd ESWC title

ImageThe Polish Counter-Strike monsters have set a new record as they are the only team in the world who has won ESWC two times in a row.



MYM/PGS final opponent, "challenger", was non other than the best Asian team eSTRO. Both teams had a hard way to the finals and both still had the hardest match ahead.

The first map was de_dust2 which isn't the very best map for both teams and that proved on the battle field as the whole match went side by side till the very last 30th round where the Poles pulled of a 16:14 victory.

The second map was de_nuke. MYM/PGS was able to take advantage in the first half and it looked like the second half will be the last in this final. But it wasn't and the Koreans were so persistent that in the end they turned the table and won the map 16:13.

The final and last map was de_tuscan, a map that should favour the Poles more, because they surely have played it more than their opponent has. And it surely did look like that for more than first half of the map.

But as soon as MYM/PGS got to the match point (15:6), eSTRO started an unbelievably incredible comeback. The Koreans managed to win a lot of 3v5 and other various situations pushing the score to 13:16.
