After two days of great matches in the first edition of Bigpoint Battle, we have a champion crowned.




us Team Liquid has defeated de mousesports with a score of 2:0. This will be the second tournament win for the Americans in February as they enjoy a succession of impressive results, cementing their status as one of the premier teams in the Western scene as of late.

For their achievements, Liquid will earn themselves 1,500€ while mouz takes home 500€.

Road to victory:

Team Liquid moved into the grand final after dispatching eu Fnatic.EU 2:1. Despite suffering a minor setback in game two, Liquid's us Steven 'Korok' Ashworth played a sensational Queen of Pain and completely destroyed any chance of Fnatic stealing a win in game three.

mousesports had a similar path into the grand final, beating eu Kaipi 2:1 as well. The Germans had to play without de Adrian 'FATA-' Trinks and it definitely affected their play as they fell meekly in game one. A chaotic game two saw mouz stealing the crucial win before proceeding with a dominant display in the final game.

In game one of the final, mouz found themselves getting out maneuvered by Liquid. Despite de Dominik 'Black^' Reitmeier doing his best to split push with Anti-Mage, the item difference was too steep and Liquid destroyed mouz with ease.

If game one was not a stomp, game two was definitely a stomp. mouz took a huge gamble by picking up Lycan. However, mouz had predictable laning and Team Liquid took advantage of their weak laning phase by completely shutting down Batrider. By the end of the game, Batrider had no blink dagger and mouz had no chance to make a comeback.

Congratulations to Team Liquid for winning their second official tournament.

Final Standings:

1st - us Team Liquid - 1,500€
2nd - de mousesports - 500€
