ESL One New York 2018 ended with a strong Best of Five finale last night, with the last match in this international championship seeing North America and Europe clash through Team Liquid and Mousesports respectively

 

 

Five-day competition at the Barclays Center in New York City has ended with the winner crowned at one of the biggest Counter-strike: Global Offensive events this year. Mousesports, who won their biggest victory this year against Team Liquid, won three games against two in a Best of Five Grand Final to win a prize of nearly $125,000.

The first map, Cache, has seen equal fighting between the two sides, with no one giving up the competition all the time. Although Team Liquid had finished the second round of pistols with a 10-8 lead, Mouz had managed to find its stake in CT to turn the scales, causing great damage to the American team’s economy. A hit they could not really recover from in the remaining rounds, ending the conflict with a win for Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken and his teammates with a score of 16-12.

The next map, Nuke, gave a different story to the two teams, where CT was very important for the Liquid team, giving them a comfortable lead in the first half of the game to show that it has not given up the competition yet. The winning rounds continued with a successful second pistol round of the team’s road to victory with a score of 16-7 to return the competition to zero with a draw between the two teams with one map to another.

The momentum did not stop there, as Liquid continued to dominate with the third map Inferno with a stunning 7-1 lead on the T side, but Mousesports was not giving up easily to bounce back with five defensive rounds to keep them at the end of the second half with a 9-6 score. However, Liquid’s big knowledge of the map and their outstanding performance made the Mouz mission very difficult, as the European team continued to receive losses right and left until the Liquid bullet of mercy was shot in the 26th round to score 16-10.

With the NA team winning two maps to one, Dust II represented the break point for Mousesports, either returning to competition or leaving Barclays as spectators of the crowning glory of their opponents. This may have been enough to ignite the passion in the hearts of the players, who were able to impose almost total control in the first half of the map thanks to their great performance and fine moves. In the end, the players of Liquid were able to equalize their opponents until the 30th round, and the game went on to the extra rounds, which saw a fight that was the best in the tournament. It ended with Mouz winning with two rounds in the final result of 19-17.

All we saw last night brought us to the final point in this fiery final, the crucial Mirage map after four exhausting maps that saw equal performance between the two sides. From the start, Mouz made its intention clear that it would not give up this final with four wins at the start of the game giving them momentum that continued the entire first half with clear progress. It did not look good for the Liquid team in the second half as well, and Chris “chrisJ” de Jong’s best Ace of the year ended Liquid’s dreams at round 24, finally announcing the end of the conflict with a 16-8 Mousesports win. Their third victory that night and thus awarding them the prestigious ESL One New York title.

This tournament win meant a lot to the Mouz team, where they returned to the top again after months of low performance and stumbling here and there, especially at the FACEIT London Major last week, which saw them finishing last. The ESL One title is the team’s second this year, the last event they won was in February with StarLadder S4, where they had Martin “STYKO” Styk in the roster. This time, they proved they’re over his departure as they no longer need the superstar to win at big events.
