The tournament, which started it's playdates on February 15 earlier this year, featuring 327 teams will all be over tonight. The winner will get 600 euros along with some hardware, and the runner-up 400 euros and also some hardware along with it (although, slightly less spectacular).
DTS recently won ASUS, stealing the tickets to ESWC away from TeamHome. Just after that they kicked Meet Your Makers out of Storm the Front. It's now clear that their opponent in the final is no other team than Nirvana International, currently ranked number one at GosuGamers ranking.

Fear of Nirvana.int says the following about the final:
"We're pretty confident going into the grandfinals against DTS, but we're not going to underestimate them. DTS showed us how much of a powerhouse they are right now by knocking out teams like MYM and, of course, winning ASUS to qualify for ESWC, representing Russia. They're the team to beat right now and we can expect to see a nice lag-free series as well which is always a plus."
Dendi of DTS chooses to save his words and simply say what's important:
"We're gonna try to do as good as possible and I also believe we've got chances to win."
Both of the teams have earned their place in the final, but only one of them can go through this whole tournament unbeaten. The questions remains, who shall stand and who shall fall?
