mousesports have booked their place at cs_summit 2 after defeating Heroic 2-0 (16-4 on Cobblestone, 16-9 on Inferno) in the LOOT.BET Cup 2 grand final.

Following the end of the 22-team group stage, eight squads advanced to the single-elimination playoffs. With a spot at cs_summit 2 on offer, Heroic and mousesports battled it out in the qualifier's grand final after beating Valiance and Vega Squadron, respectively, in the semi-final stage.

With Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev stepping into Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný's shoes, the European mixture was off to a great start, securing an 11-4 half-time lead while playing as Terrorists on Cobblestone. Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong's men kept pressing on and eventually locked down the map with a flawless CT side.

Next up was Inferno, Heroic's map pick, with mousesports securing a quick 6-2 lead despite not being able to follow up their T-side pistol win. In the ninth round, Heroic looked set to get back in the game on an extremely shoddy buy, but Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk crushed their hopes with an impressive 1v5 clutch, paving the way for his team to secure a 10-5 lead.

With yet another pistol round win, mousesports hit 12-rounds on the board, but Heroic did not want to throw in the towel and responded with a successful CZ-buy. The Danes followed that up with a few more round wins, but mousesports would not let a comeback happen and took the map, 16-9, to book their place at cs_summit 2.
