As of deadline Cloud9 and CLG are still in the midst of their best-of-five series to decide who goes through for NA.

ELEAGUE results

ESG Mykonos results

Over to Mykonos, your ESG Tour champions are mousesports.

After a grueling back and forth best-of-five that would make a seesaw jealous, mouz finally won it out on Nuke and are going home with € 100,000. ropz and company took Cobblestone with a clean 16-8 scoreline. Then it was Liquid dominating Inferno 16-5. mouz shot back on Train 16-9, and yes, you guessed it, Liquid won out on Mirage to force map five.

On the loser’s side, SK Gaming recovered a little of their pride, taking third place over Virtus.pro, who they beat 2-1. Though it’ll like be a cold comfort for the favourites to win this tournament.

DreamHack Montreal controversy

On to DreamHack Montreal, North are your CS:GO champions. They took out Immortals in a best-of-three Grand Final that lasted a single map, Cobble, with North’s beastly T side carrying them to a 16-9 victory.

Yes, North got a win by default on the first map, without ever playing it. According to DreamHack’s CS:GO director Marc "NixOn" Winther, Immortals “did not show up in time for the start of the grand final and as a result have forfeited the first map.”

DreamHack later released a statement about the incident, saying "the team was informed that the grand final would be scheduled to start one hour after the second semi final had concluded, as a part of the accelerated scheduled [sic] which the entire tournament has been running on communicated to all attending teams ahead of time."

With a Grand Finals start time set for 3:30 pm, "Immortals were not ready by 3:45PM and as a result forfeited the first map against North."
