The grand final between Xtreme Gaming and Team Spirit was one of the closest in recent memory. Xtreme Gaming opened up with a Game 1 win, and Team Spirit retaliated with a win in Game 2, tieing up the grand final.

While Game 3 was exceptionally close, the Chinese powerhouse pushed through to take a win, making it 2-1 and putting themselves on match point. Team Spirit showed their big match temperament and, from the backfoot, managed two wins in a row to beat Xtreme Gaming 3-2 and become the PGL Wallachia Season 1 champion!

A big congratulations go out to Team Spirit for their fantastic run through the lower bracket and comeback in the grand final. They win the first-place prize of $300,000, while Xtreme Gaming limps away with $170,000 in prize money.
