IG have just triumphed over EG, making them
champions of ESL One. After an exciting two games tying the
teams at 1-1, iG opted for lesser-picked support 
Kunkka and mid 
Queen of Pain for
game 3 and they did not disappoint. After 29 minutes, EG called GG with
the score at 22-0 in favour of iG.
EG entered the series with confidence, and they proved too strong for the Chinese early-five man push strategy in the first game. It was quickly evident that pushing was not the way to go for iG, and they switched their focus to early ganking and massive burst damage. This decision proved successful as they were able to grab two consecutive victories with two similar lineups, both including Luo's
Invoker .In the end, iG saved ESL as the delays had started to stack up, during to regulations the venue would have needed to started clearing off the visitors at 23.00 CEST. The final ended at 23.45 CEST and the arena had to quickly start emptying the people. Regulations were mostly revolving around the arena rules as well as the security staff's schedules.
1st - iG - $80,000+
2nd - EG - $40,000+
3rd-4th - Alliance, Fnatic - $20,000+
5th-8th - Mouz, VG, Cloud9, Na`Vi - $10,000+
Congratulations to iG!
