Virtus.pro have swept Fnatic 2-0 in the ELEAGUE Grand Finals to win the league championship at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta. The Polish squad took home a $390,000 pot in the win.

The series opened up on Cobble, Fnatic’s map choice, and it started off in expected fashion as the Swedes went up 9-6 at the half. VP toggled on and took seven consecutive rounds. Fnatic could only muster a single round of their own before VP slammed the door shut with a 16-7 Game 1 scoreline.

The next map was Mirage, and the nerves were definitely showing for Fnatic. flusha was particularly emotional about the way the second map was going.

Despite taking a pause, Fnatic went down to 10-5 in the half. They took the three opening rounds in the second half, but VP gave them no more and took five straight rounds to closeout the map 16-8.

snax was VP’s sparkplug, posting a 1.49 HLTV player rating across the series, while olofmeister was the lowest rated player in the series with an 0.68 rating.

VP went undefeated in the playoffs, sweeping Astralis in the quarterfinals and mousesports in the semifinals.

Unlike Fnatic, who won their group and were directly seeded into the playoffs, VP had to fight through the Last Chance Qualifier to earn their playoff berth. They swept both Gambit Gaming and Renegades to make it into the playoffs.

VP’s victory comes in the midst of a slump, as the Polish squad have not won a championship since May 22 when they defeated Na`Vi 2-1 to win the SL i-League Invitational #1. Prior to that, their last premier tournament win came in November last year when they won CEVO Season 8.

In the post-game interview with Chris Puckett, TaZ acknowledged the team’s slump but noted that the Polish squad is back where they should be.

“Guys I think that we can all say and we can shout that Virtus.pro is back baby,” he said.
