Burden United swept through London Conspiracy in a convincing and fitting 3:0 victory to seal their championship title. Having outdrafted and outplayed their Greek opponents, BU were simply on top of their game.
Burden United had an undefeated record going into the grand finals, having won all six of their series over the course of the week. The team won almost half of the total amount of the prize pool, grabbing $1500 in series wins and another $800 for the grand finals.
Despite the team having disbanded in June, Burden United participated in the event with a different lineup, consisting of several core players and a variety of stand-ins. Alexandru “ComeWithMe” Crăciunescu, Ivan “MinD_ContRoL” Borislavov and Danil “Bignum” Shehovstov were the most consistent players on the roster for the tournament, leading their mixed team to victory after victory.
London Conspiracy was next in line, having secured only 50% of their matches with an even 3:3 result.
