Season 5 of the ESL Pro League has come to an end. After ten weeks of online play in the European and North American division, 12 best teams advanced to the LAN finals taking place in the historical Counter-Strike city, Dallas, Texas. These teams competed throughout the course of five days to determine who would take the season 5 championship and the lion’s share of the US$1,000,000 prize pool.
After thrilling group stage and playoff matches, it all came down to two European teams: G2 Esports and North. In the end, it was G2 Esports who bested the Danes 3-1 and lifted the coveted ESL Pro League trophy, becoming our season 5 champions.
