OK, so this is le grand finale, i honestly don't know how Cloud9 reached this far, but they are going to get whipped by E.G. We can see that this organization literally purchased NRG team, and they have big plans with it. They are well known established in the US, so it was just a matter of time when they would start to break through the CS: GO scene. So Cloud9 won against team INTZ 2-1 (16-8 on Train, 23-25 on Mirage and 16-11 on Nuke), then they defeated team FURIA 2-1 (12-16 on Mirage, 16-11 on Train, and 16-8 on Overpass). While on the other side, Evil Geniuses had little to no trouble in reaching the grand finals, they defeated ex-Singularity 2-0 (16-9 on Dust2, and 16-2 on Mirage), then they defeated team Complexity 2-0 (16-13 on Overpass, and 16-5 on Inferno). The winner will receive $12,500 and the ticket to the ECS Season 8 Finals, while the loser will have to satisfy with $7,500, and that is something worth absolutely nothing for both teams, so we can expect nice game here, but in the end, i believe that E.G. will win 2-0 here. Head-to-head these two teams played five maps, and the score is four wins for E.G. and one tied map. I will go here with -1,5 handicap on E.G.

Good luck to all who bet, and don't forget to gamble responsibly!
