Team Liquid and Mousesports to face off in ESL One New York Finals
By Zac Cameron ·
The action is going to be fierce as these two teams face off for the grand prize in the latest Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament.
The final teams remaining in the ESL One New York tournament have been decided, and Team Liquid will take on Mousesports in the Grand Finals. Team Liquid will benefit from the home field advantage as they take on Mousesports at the Barclays Center in New York for a shot at $125,000 in prize money.
Team Liquid swept their group stage 2-0, and their semifinal match against Gambit Esports proved to be extremely one-sided, winning Nuke 16-6, followed by an even faster victory on Inferno, 16-3. Overall, the North American side has not had to really exert themselves very much this tournament, with their only loss coming to NRG Esports in an overtime showdown on Overpass that saw Team Liquid fall 17-19 before mounting a comeback and winning the series.
What a great first day in the @barclayscenter for the #ESLOne New York Semi-Finals!

Mousesports has had a much harder fight to get where they are, with both of their group stage games going the distance at 2-1. Their semifinal showdown was similarly 2-0, although they faced a much tougher fight with NRG Esports, claiming victory on Inferno 16-12, and victory on Nuke 16-11.
Tomorrows match should prove to be an exciting one, with both teams demonstrating skill and perseverance to get to where they are today. You can catch all the action when it kicks off on the official ESL Facebook stream, here, at 10am PT / 1pm ET.
