Cloud9 to Pro League final over CLG

Cloud9 will contest the ESL ESEA Pro League title after easing past CLG 2-0 (16-5 on de_cache and 16-8 on de_dust2).

The opening semi-final of the ESL ESEA Pro League offline finals brought two North American rivals together, with most stats pointing towards a clear victory for Cloud9.

The opening map of this best-of-three series was de_cache, which has been one of Cloud9's strongest maps throughout this tournament. It was thus without too much surprise that C9 took the reins of the match and stormed to a 5-0 lead.

CLG then responded by taking their first round of the game, but their inability to build on that win left their economy in shambles. Later on, Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta's men would finally be able to string two rounds together, but Cloud9 never took their foot off the pedal as they closed the half up 11-4.

A pistol ace by Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik in the second half provided CLG with a glimmer of hope, but their dreams were crushed in the following round as Cloud9 regained control of the match and only let go when they had 16 rounds on the board.

Cloud9 move on to the grand final 

de_dust2, CLG's map choice, then followed, and once again it was Cloud9 who came out the brighter by winning the first eight rounds of the game in convincing fashion. CLG them picked themselves up and won six rounds of their own before C9 claimed the final round to make it 9-6 in their favor.

CLG found some breathing room in the second half as they both won the pistol round and the anti-eco that followed. But a mid-B split in the third round left them frustrated and saw Cloud9 regain control of proceedings before eventually running out 16-8 winners.
