LDLC and HellRaisers will face off in the grand final of FACEIT's European G2A.com cup.
With the quarter-finals and the semi-finals now behind us, only two teams remain in contention in FACEIT's European G2A.com December cup, which features a prize purse of $10,000.
Unlike the first round of the tournament, which used a best-of-three format, the semi-finals were played in a best-of-five system, meaning that teams had to win three maps to advance to the grand final.
The first semi-final pitted DreamHack Winter champions LDLC against the new mousesports lineup. Despite a very strong performance from Chris "chrisJ" de Jong, the German side still fell short against the Frenchmen, who relied on a world-class display from Fabien "kioShiMa" Fiey to secure a 3-0 victory (16-12 on de_inferno, 16-11 on de_dust2 and 16-4 on de_overpass).
