Mousesports win Flashpoint 3 – How did they do it?

Mousesports kicked off the event with a huge upset versus Fnatic in the 1st round of the upper bracket. They then played against BIG, and also won 2-0 to get into the 3rd round. Here they met Astralis, and to everyone’s surprise, despite being a close series Mousesports also won this one. With this win they got into the upper bracket Final against G2 Esports, and once again, they 2-0’d them and sent G2 to the lower bracket final.

With the Grand Finals spot sealed and done with, they waited to see whoever will be their next opponent, whether it be, G2 of NiP. In the end it was the Ninjas that redeemed themselves and got their revenge on G2. 

Grand Finals

In the Grand Final, NiP started out strong, winning the first map 16-13. However Mousesports reset their mentality and came back with a huge strike, winning both maps back to back (Nuke 16-6, Inferno 16-9). Here’s a preview of the final round:

With this win Ac0r got a back to back event win as he won with MAD Lions in the previous edition.

What’s next?

It certainly has been quite some time since we’ve seen this Mousesports lineup get a trophy, or a higher placement. Hopefully with this win, the team focuses on improving their consistency so that they can continue with this winnings streak. Their next event is the Intel Extreme Masters XVI – Cologne, taking place between the 6th and 18th of July.
