Final
Moscow Five Vs. gamehoppers.eu
Moscow 5 take first game with 13 to 2 with Gamehoppers.eu surrendering.

The second game was a tad more exciting, the Gamehoppers put up a good fight but in the end, M5 was just too strong, with Alexey ‘Alex Ich’ Ichetovkin picking Jax against Oliver ‘Hawkdon’ Scholz Lønning’s Morgana in midlane, farming up and helping M5 to victory. Great plays from both teams, especially from M5.
