Coming into the finals with a winner bracket advantage, ru Team Empire secured a 3-1 victory over the American powerhouse. After losing the first game, us Evil Geniuses were with their backs against the wall, and the daunting task of taking three straight games off one of Europes finest simply proved too much for them.

Empire made their way through the finals brackets in comfortable style, taking out us Team Dignitas 2-1 and EG 2-0, giving them the winners bracket slot. Meanwhile EG took on de Team Zero and came ahead with a 2-1 margin, and after having been relegated to the losers bracket proceeded to eliminate Dignitas from the competition, again with a 2-1 score.

The final series saw lively play with both sides showing plenty of aggression, and a mutual unwillingness to take games late. Unfortunately for EG, this style of game is where Empire has made their home, securing them another #1 finish.

EG will have their chance for revenge sooner rather than later, as both teams are favourites at the upcomming DreamHack Winter 2012 lan event.
