Mousesports win Flashpoint Season 3: final placements & recap

Flashpoint Season 3 is all wrapped up, with Mousesports fighting their way to the top of the 16 best teams in Europe on the road to the Stockholm Major in October 2021. Here’s a full recap of their nearly-perfect run, and how they managed to pull it off.

---

• NiP ran the gauntlet after their controversial Anonymo rematch to make the Grand Final.
• Mouz would drop it’s first map of the tournament against NiP in the Final, but win 2-1 in the end.
• Mousesports take home $17,000 and 1600 RMR points.

Flashpoint returned with Season 3 of its CS:GO event rivaling ESL Pro League and BLAST Premier — and there was enough drama and storylines to keep almost anyone entertained.

16 teams across Europe competed in Season 3, including 11 invited squads. It was the first step towards the Stockholm Major,  set to take place in October 2021. Mousesports continued to dominate, not dropping a map until the Grand Final vs. NiP, who had a memorable tournament themselves — though, not quite for the same reason.

It will probably be awhile before anyone forgets about the NiP/Anonymo saga that took place during the first round of Flashpoint Season 3, even if the Ninjas did fight their way through the Lower Bracket to the Grand Finals anyways.

Take a look at the full final placements below, along with a full recap of each day’s scores.

Flashpoint Season 3: teams

The tournament organizer extended invites to some of the world’s best teams, including Astralis, Vitality, G2, and FaZe Clan.

Flashpoint Season 2 champions Virtus.pro weren’t invited to the event, as they are classified as a CIS team under Valve’s major rules. The same goes for IEM Katowice 2021 champions Gambit Esports.
