Liquid takes a heavy loss in IEM Chicago 2018 finals

IEM Chicago  2018 came to a close with a clash between two teams equally eager to win the title, but both gave very different performances during the grand finals.

Astralis have won IEM Chicago 2018 after taking down Liquid 3-0 in a one-sided grand final, as Nicolai “device” Reedtz kicked Astralis further into the lead with three great p250 kills in the second half pistol round, with the Danish side following that up with both anti-ecos. Liquid still attempted a response with guns, but Astralis quickly wrapped things up to get their hands on yet another trophy – their seventh since the start of the year.

Astralis star Nicolai “device” Reedtz has been named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of IEM Chicago 2018 by HLTV.org and betway.
