After seven weeks of intense online matches, a total of 12 teams from both the European and North American division, secured their spot in the ESL Pro League Season 6 finals. The teams traveled to Odense, Denmark, to compete for the lion’s share of the staggering US$1,000,000 prize pool as well as a win counting towards the Intel Grand Slam.
Two days of thrilling group matches determined the six teams who made it to the playoffs and got to play on the big stage in the sold out area filled with roaring fans. In the end, it all came down to the current very best teams in the world, SK Gaming and FaZe Clan with SK Gaming taking the trophy and everything that came with it.
