MegaFon Winter Clash Finals Set For Team Liquid
By Zac Cameron ·
The dominant team is setting the pace for the event, sitting pretty in the Grand Final spot as they await the next challenger.
Team Liquid have put on a dominant performance at the MegaFon Winter Clash in Moscow this weekend, climbing their way to the Grand Finals as they now await the results of the lower bracket to determine their opponent. While a slew of top teams have made the journey to this event, it seems that none can stand up to the powerhouse team, as Team Liquid bulldoze their way through all competitors.
After topping Group B with a 2-0 record, Team Liquid earned their spot straight in the Winners final against Natus Vincere, who managed to claim the top spot in Group A with a 1-1 record with a better map record than their competitors. That Winners final again saw Team Liquid go 2-0, cementing their spot in the Grand Finals with a perfect map record so far.

The playoffs themselves saw Team Secret take down Forward Gaming 2-1, while PSG.LGD claimed victory over Virtus.pro 2-0, to set up an exciting losers bracket semifinal. Team Secret will now take on PSG.LGD in a best of three competition to determine who will advance to the loser’s final against Natus Vincere. Ultimately, it will be that loser’s final that determines who will advance to the Grand Final against a patient Team Liquid.
You can catch all the action on the official Twitch channel above, as the matches kick off at midnight PT. If you’re more content to get a good night’s sleep and wake up early for the Grand Final, the action should kick off at 6am PT, Sunday the 9th.
