ImageA great grand final just finished with mTw coming out on top, winning two of three maps over SK Gaming. This is the second tournament in a row they have won, taking home a gold medal as well as $50,000. Three maps had been played, starting with de_dust2 going on to de_tuscan and finishing with de_train.



The first map was closer than the score tells, with mTw taking de_dust2 16-10 although both teams playing a strong Counter-Terrorist side. SK was also able to win two eco rounds on each side after losing the pistol rounds but were unable to win the map after all.

The second map, and not so often played, was de_tuscan. This time SK Gaming started out great leading up with 6-0 but mTw turned it around getting 7 rounds in a row and made it a 8-7 in favor of SK Gaming after the first half. A close second half was played and even though SK were up with 15-10 again, mTw almost made it into overtime but lost with 14-16 to SK Gaming.

The final map then was de_train where mTw were able to start on the Counter-Terrorist side which is usually an advantage but they lost the pistol round to SK. Still, they managed to win the third round with an early buy of two scouts and famases, thus taking the lead. In the end they won with 16-4 after being up with 11-4 on the first half, making them this year's World Cyber Games Champions.
