Despite starting the grand final a map down due to coming from the lower-bracket, LDLC overcame AGO, 3-2 (16-10 Train, 16-6 Overpass, 8-16 Mirage, 16-7 Dust2) to lift the ESL Pro European Championship trophy.

The ESL Pro European Championship pitted the best teams from ESL's national competitions against each other, with a total of 12 teams competing in the online qualifier. From there, the three best teams advanced to the ~$80,000 LAN finals—LDLC, Epsilon and ALTERNATE aTTaX—, joining AGO who was invited to the LAN in Poznan, Poland directly.

With a 16-12 over ALTERNATE aTTaX and a 2-0 over Epsilon, the home crowd favorites AGO advanced to the grand final without dropping a map, while LDLC had to fight through the lower-bracket to get to the same place after losing to Epsilon, 16-14, in the opener.

In the grand final, LDLC were quick to even out the map score by winning AGO's map pick, Train, where François "⁠AmaNEk⁠" Delaunay stood out with a 1.34 rating. After that, Overpass followed, where the French side was dominant as CT, racking up 13 rounds in the first half. After such a poor start, it was hard for AGO to make the comeback, and LDLC took the lead, 2-1.

AGO didn't manage a strong team performance on Mirage either, but Tomasz "⁠phr⁠" Wójcik single-handedly won them the game with his 32K-15D showing, leading AGO to a 16-8 victory with 141.2 ADR and a 2.08 rating. The Poles weren't able to make the full comeback, though, as on the last map, LDLC's AWPer Antoine "⁠to1nou⁠" Pirard came online and spearheaded the Frenchmen to a 16-7 victory and the ESL Pro European Championship title.
