In the EPS Summer League Cup 2011 finals, DE Mousesports got off to a dominating first half of the first map, de_nuke, after taking the pistol rounds and building up a massive 6 round lead. Although DE ESC Gaming de managed to take the next four rounds, mouz and their aggressive pushes were all too much for ESC.

After trading rounds for the rest of the first half of the map, mouz ever so slightly pulled ahead with a score of 8:7.
