CS:GO
Before long, the competition at PGL Major Krakow 2017 will intensify even further, when the undefeated 
Gambit Gaming take on the underdogs of 
Immortals in the grand final of the tournament which will be a battle of contrasts. Whoever wins, can eternalize themselves as Major champions in the esport history books and cash in the $500,000 prize money.
Neither team has ever been at this stage of a Major but their paths to the grand-final could not be any different.
Danylo 'Zeus' Teslenko and his teammates are still undefeated and have at least been in the quarter-final of an event of this magnitude before. The path of the individuals on the Brazilian side on the other hand is a completely different story. They had to go the full distance in the group stage, had their backs against the wall in their quarter-final against 
BIG where they came back from a 0-1 deficit and had to face the hometown heroes of 
Virtus.pro in the semi-final. During the course of their careers, only two of their five players have ever made it to the playoffs but never more than that. In fact, the rest of the roster has never even attended a Major prior to this one. Both teams were not exactly considered to be favorites at the beginning of the competition but displayed top performances and proved that they belong in the ultimate destination of the spectacle in Krakow.

Both squads have never attended a Major grand final before and will be hungry to get their first championship. Approximately one million viewers will watch them battle it out for the title. In the end, the team who excels when the spotlight is the brightest will decide the game for themselves. The contestants have the trophy right in front of their fingertips and some of these inexperienced players will feel an amount of stress they have never felt before. Who will crumble under the pressure and who will reach the pinnacle of CS:GO?

The roster ofGambit Gaming has won their first Major which caps off their flawless tournament. They did not lose a single game during the course of the event, beat the reigning ELEAGUE Major Atlanta 2017 champions of Astralis Denmark in the semi-final and definitely deserve the title.
Danylo 'Zeus' Teslenko and his teammates had to come back from an early 0-1 deficit and decided the match on Inferno where our Brazilian friends of Immortals could not get enough control of banana. Our fellow countrymen were too passive on their ct-side and got overrun on the bombsites too often. In addition, they had no answer to the aggressive banana-takes of their opponents when they played as terrorists, which caused the final score of 2-1 for Gambit Gaming.
