Team Liquid suffers a big loss in ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 grand finals to their danish opponents
Team Liquid tried hard to steal the trophy of the ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 but this bitter attempt caused them an unforgettable loss in the finals.
Astralis have won the 2018 edition of ELEAGUE Premier after beating Liquid in a two-map series (16-5 on Inferno and 16-12 on Nuke).
It took Astralis just two hours to beat Liquid and with the ELEAGUE title – their fourth since the start of the year. The North Americans were brimming with confidence after taking down Natus Vincere in the semi-finals, but defeating the Danes turned out to be too big of a task for Nick “nitr0”Cannella’s men, who were decimated on Inferno. Nuke was a much closer affair, but in the end, it was business as usual for Astralis, who bring the curtain down on the tournament season with a $500,000 cheque and head into the player break still sitting at the top of the pile.
