Team Liquid's phenomenal run in the lower-bracket could not be stopped, and Liquid made their way past five opponents to reach a Grand Finals against Newbee. For Kuroky it was his seventh International but this would be the first he would hold the Aegis of the Immortal, having lead his team to victory against the odds and against opposition from across the globe.

It was a clean sweep in The International finals, 3-0, for the first time in TI's seven year history. The third game a symbol of just how incredibly strong Liquid are. With the momentum in their favour Liquid never really gave Newbee a chance to get into the Grand Finals, and MIracle's Juggernaut in the third and final game was styling all over Newbee.
Kuro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @LiquidKuroKy GOD ! Congratulation . @TeamLiquid well done :) best team in the world !
