/Malta Vibes Knockout Series 5 has come to an end. At the championship, which was held online from January 17 to 27, 40 teams from Europe fought for a prize pool of $50,000, as well as two training camps in Malta. The HEET team became the champion of the tournament, which in the grand final was stronger than the Russian team K23 with a score of 2:0 (Nuke - 19:17; Inferno - 19:16).
The future winner began his journey from the 1/8 final stage, where he was invited by the organizers. At the same time, the French team coped with AVE (2:0) with great difficulty, I will almost leave the championship already at the initial stages. However, then HEET dealt with 1WIN (2:0) and forZe (2:1) in turn, thus making it to the grand final.
In the decisive match, the team literally showed character by escaping on both maps. First, HEET made a comeback on the Nuke map, finishing what they started in overtime.
