We are the champions of ESL One Katowice 2018!
RodjER earns the title of tournament's MVP!
Game one
Virtus.pro open up the series with a firstblood. The early game does not result in a significant lead for any of the teams. Afterwards, VP seize the initiative by winning series of teamfights. Trying to answer that, Vici Gaming steal Aegis in a teamfight near Roshpit, but lose four players and the entirety of the midlane in the process. After claiming the Roshan, Virtus.pro assemble for a final push and win the game.
Game two
Both teams start off aggressively, but the equal struggle ends the moment Virtus.pro score a teamwipe on the 15-minute mark. Seeking ways to bolster their lead, our team uses the opportunity to put map and objective pressure to the maximum. VG attempt to comeback, but to no avail. Yet another loss in a skirmish forced Vici to concede – Virtus.pro are leading 2:0.
Game three
Vici Gaming manage to grab the early game lead this time around. Virtus.pro secure Roshan, but it's not enough to tip the scales in our favor. Thanks to the victories in the previous fights, VG's successful midlane push sent four our heroes respawning. After losing another teamfight on the 25-minute mark, VP players decide to take the battle to the game number four.
Game four
Vici Gaming claim the firstblood in the deciding game. Nevertheless, Virtus.pro manage to turn the tide by skillfully exploiting enemy's mistakes. Our guys establish a total control over the map via series of successful teamfights. Already after the 20th minute, VG were left without a midlane. 10 minutes later, the final Highground push cemented Virtus.pro's victory.
