After the end of the final week, the grand final tuvo lugar ayer por la noche y vio a G2 Esports enfrentarse a Heroic tanto por la mayor parte del premio accumulated de $ 1 milón, como por una qualification directa a IEM Cologne 2023 a finals de This year.
After a competition, the winner was decided after the fourth map, as G2 Esports managed to edge Heroic 3-1 in the overall match. This result saw G2 Esports walk away with $400,000 in prize money, a spot in the upcoming IEM Cologne Major, and effectively made G2 Esports eligible for the Intel Grand Slam title.
This means G2 Esports joins Team Vitality, FaZe Clan, Cloud9, and Outsiders, in a race to claim four ESL Pro Tour Masters wins and events. The race will continue for the next nine events, which means that G2 Esports must win a third of the next tournaments to claim the million dollar prize offered for accomplishing the feat. The problem is also that the team will have to do this before Team Vitality, Cloud9, or the Outsiders win three events themselves, or before FaZe Clan wins just one of the next three events.
