The ESL Pro League final was a rollercoaster ride where we saw two exceptional teams fight it out with each other for the title and the cash price of $200,000. 

The matchup was a best of 5 and it started off with Heroic winning the first map on Vertigo which was a closely contested matchup with a scoreline of 19-17.

The second map was Vertigo and Gambit made sure that they earned their spot into the finals and replied back by winning 16-3.

The third map went a long way as both the teams wanted to win it and the map went into overtime but with the help of  Casper ‘cadiaN’ Møller they secured the map 28-16.

The series was still not over as Gambit came back on Overpass and fought back to win the map 16-10 to take the finals to the last and final map Mirage.

The final map saw Heroic winning in a heroic manner with Cadian pulling out one of his best career plays and clutching out 1v4 with a knife kill and that too on the match point to put the cherry on top. 

Heroic finally won the series 3-2 and took away $200,00 home and a guaranteed spot at the BLAST Premier Global Final in December. Although Gambit lost the finals Sergey “⁠Ax1Le⁠” Rykhtorov was still named the ESL Pro League Season 13 MVP for his “amazing consistency and impact throughout the event.”
