The tournament saw 16 of the top teams from around the world descend on Stockholm for a five day tournament, the last big event before the FaceIt London Major, starting on September 5.

Astralis were the big favorites coming in, but were actually pipped to the top spot in their group by Danish rivals North, who beat them 2-1 in their group stage match.

But Astralis’ confidence wasn’t knocked, as they took down both MiBR (formerly SK) and Ninjas in Pyjamas in pretty dominant 2-0 fashion.

North continued to look equally strong, as they defeated Na’Vi in the quarter finals in a 2-0, before they faced a tougher test against mousesports in the semis.

Mouz had already defeated FaZe Clan, who finished in a disappointing 5-8th. North bettered mousesports in the end however, after being 16-0’d in the first map, they bounced back to win the series 2-1.
