TSM beat Virtus to win PGL S1

Team SoloMid are back-to-back PGL champions after beating Virtus.pro 3-0 in the grand final of Season 1 (1-0 default, 16-12 on de_train and de_overpass).

The final day of the PGL Season 1 finals began with an out-of-form fnatic trying to get back on track after looking way off the pace during the opening rounds of the Romanian tournament.

The Cologne champions' opponent was none other than Virtus.pro, who had dropped to the Lower Bracket after being downed by TSM 2-0 in the Upper Bracket final. The Polish team were in control for most of the series, picking up a 2-0 victory after securing back-to-back 16-12 wins on de_train and de_dust2.

Virtus.pro then moved on to the grand final seeking to exert revenge on TSM for Saturday's defeat. Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas's men knew, however, that they had a mountain to climb as the Danes enjoyed a 1-0 lead due to coming from the Upper Bracket.

The match began on de_train, where Virtus.pro looked the livelier of both sides during the early stages, twice taking three-round leads. However, a four-kill round by Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen in the 10th round put TSM back in the game and powered the Danish team to overcome the deficit and close out the half up 8-7.

In the second half, Virtus.pro crawled back into the game after losing the pistol round, but TSM kept their composure and secured a 16-12 victory after a series of close rounds.

Next up was de_overpass, where TSM came out the brighter and picked up the opening three rounds as Terrorist. Virtus.pro then equalised the score with three rounds of their own, but the Danes remained in control and brought the scoreline to 9-6.  Now playing on the CT side, TSM grew their lead by winning the pistol round following a successful retake in the A site.

The Danish team were then caught off-guard in the first anti-eco, with Virtus.pro adding the next two rounds to their tally to make it 9-10. The threat of a massive comeback loomed large, but TSM closed their defensive lines really well and won six of the next nine rounds to seal a 16-12 victory and a memorable campaign on Romanian soil.
