The twentieth ESL Pro League final went on long into the Maltese evening as the ultimate surprise package of Eternal Fire refused to go gently into the good night, but ultimately it was NAVI who proved superior in the topsy-turvy marathon that saw Aleksib finally won a best-of-five CS final.
With this being their fourth consecutive grand final appearance at big event, Major winners NAVI were the runaway favorites of this matchup. They would have likely been the expected winners against most sides considering their recent showings, but this was especially the case against world #10 Eternal Fire, the Turkish outfit that has been revitalized recently, in a far cry from the 21-28th finish from the last Pro League season back in the spring.
