i52 Grand Final!

The biggest TF2 event of the year, insomnia52, is drawing to a close. Over the past two days 26 teams played a total of 99 matches until there were only two teams left. Tomorrow at 11.00 CEST, USA Froyotech and European Epsilon eSports walk onto the grand stage in Ricoh Arena, Coventry to fight for the title of TF2 world champions. Tune in to the Multiplay stream for coverage of the best of 3 maps series!

USA Froyotech, one of the two teams sent over by the American fundraiser had a bit of a shaky start in the group stage, going into the knockouts as the third seed with a 5-2 record after losses to both European Epsilon eSports and Australia Team Immunity. They came back strong in the Knockout stage though, knocking out every opposing team without dropping a single map, getting revenge on European Epsilon eSports in the Upper Bracket Final to go through on to the grand stage.

European Epsilon eSports came out all guns blazing in the group stage, winning all their games and going into the knockouts as the first seed. During the knockouts they first barely edged past USA Classic Mixup and then got knocked down to the lower bracket by their fellow finalists USA Froyotech. In the consolation final they once again faced USA Classic Mixup and came out winners after a very intense match featuring two golden cap rounds and multiple memorable plays.

The teams consist of:

USA Froyotech

  • USA b4nny
  • USA clockwork
  • USA Lansky
  • Canada blaze
  • USA duwatna
  • USA shade

European Epsilon eSports

The winner takes home £2500 and more importantly the rights to call themselves the best in the world. You don’t want to miss this!

    You know why Epsilon lose? (For my opinion) It’s because the difference of dm level between both team is too large.

    Actually, WAR was doing well throughout the LAN and was the one, who decided to go to bed instead of drinking during last night before finals.
