iBUYPOWER win CEVO S5 Finals

iBUYPOWER have won CEVO Professional Season 5 Finals with two best-of-three series, 2-0 and 2-1, over Cloud9 in the grand final.

Cloud9 looked dominant in the upper bracket, defeating iBUYPOWER easily 2-0 on Friday while Braxton "⁠swag⁠" Pierce's team struggled, even against NetcodeGuides.

After Denial was knocked out in fourth place, iBUYPOWER defeated NetcodeGuides to get another shot at taking down Kory "⁠SEMPHIS⁠" Friesen's Cloud9 in the grand final.

shroud's monster performance wasn't enough on de_cache

iBUYPOWER quickly dominated the first series, winning 16-13 on de_cache and 16-9 on de_dust2, to get to the second series and a chance to win the event.

Second series saw C9 lose de_train 14-16, barely escape with a 16-14 win on de_dust2, but ultimately fell short in overtime on de_cache 17-19.
