Overall Final: Mashtuur City and Karkand

Pod wins to maps to claim the title 349-0. Dignitas are left upset and don't succeed themselves as EPS Champions. An interesting evolution. Will Dignitas kick back and claim the Eurocup title (the first since they switched from XuffiX to Team Dignitas)? Will pod start to dominate once again? Or will Team Logitech upset both? Re-check soon to find out!

Last but not least, a third EPS season will be held and will of course be monitored by us with great excitement.
