Cologne saw Russian powerhouse Gambit Gaming taking title, $18,500 first place prize and earning themselves a spot at the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship, beating out European LCS champions, Fnatic in two straight games. After a great performance at the World Championships, Fnatic came into the competition as favourites but were no match for a reunited Gambit Gaming line-up.

With Edward back on the team, Gambit Gaming was unstoppable, not dropping a single match across the weekend. The team's jungler, Diamondprox, showed a stellar performance returning to his LCS standard pick, Evelynn. He would be the one be voted the tournament's Most Valuable Player over the likes of Rekkles and sOAZ, who played incredibly well in their prior matches.
