Team Liquid win cs_summit 8 after holding off late-breaking FURIA: final placements & results
Team Liquid have claimed a $17k slice of the cs_summit 8 prize pool, and 1600 RMR points, after beating FURIA in a tight 3-1 series on Sunday evening. Here’s everything you need to know to know about The Summit’s eight-team tournament.
Eight of North America’s best teams came together to battle for $50,000 and a hefty haul of Regional Major Ranking (RMR) points in cs_summit 8. In the end, it was Team Liquid that emerged victorious, edging FURIA in four in the grand final.
Liquid charged to two quick victories on Overpass (16-7) and Nuke (16-11) before FURIA staged a late-series comeback on Inferno (16-14). The new cs_summit 8 champs were able to close it out in the fourth on Mirage, 16-5, to win their first event since ESL Pro League Season 11 all the way back in April 2020.
Aussie contenders EXTREMUM finished third after a stunning lower-bracket run, falling 2-0 to FURIA. They were handed $7k and 1400 RMR points for their efforts. O Plano — made up of the former MIBR core — rounded up the top 4 to net themselves $5k and 1300 points.
The qualifier runs directly into theStockholm Major, set to be CSGO’s first Major since the pandemic hit.
