SLTV.selectah secured first place in the Virtus.pro Staff Cup #2 following a 2-1 victory over HLTV.org's Staff (de_cache 16-6, de_mirage 14-16, de_inferno 16-9).

Last weekend the second edition of Virtus.pro Staff Cup #2 kicked off with the group stage with a total of 32 teams consisting of members of different local or global websites, including a couple of Americans from CS:GO subreddit and RGN.tv.

Interestingly enough NiP Staff, who fielded Joona "⁠natu⁠" Leppänen as one of their players, didn't make it past the group stage, but numerous teams from ex-CIS did, as well as HLTV.org's own lineup.

Yesterday the double-elimination best-of-one bracket started and it was HLTV.org and SLTV.selectah, who got all the way up to the winner bracket final, where our lineup led by Tomi "⁠lurppis⁠" Kovanen prevailed 2-1 and reached the grand final.

Meanwhile, in the lower bracket Game Show, including New Era's Vasiliy "⁠FANAT ROCKA⁠" Trusov, made their way to the consolidation final through teams such as 1GAME.ua and Fragbite.se, although they once again failed to go through SLTV.selectah.

The grand final saw a rematch of the winner bracket final between HLTV.org and SLTV.selectah, but this time it was the Ukrainian-Russian mixture, who showed up in better form and secured $5,000 as the first place prize, leaving HLTV.org second with $2,500.
