Until yesterday, July 8, only four teams were left in the running for the 2017 ESL One Cologne powered by Intel championship. Natus Vincere, FaZe Clan, SK Gaming and Cloud9 battled it out in the semifinals, taking all of us on a wild rollercoaster ride of emotions and heart-attack situations. In the end, it was the American squads of C9 and SK who prevailed over Europe and will face each other later today, July 9, in an epic grand final in the LANXESS Arena.
