GCL 9: Finals Preview - Tune in for the games tonight!

SportsGamers,

Tonight we'll be kicking off the GCL9 Finals with a banger of a series! ZSC Esports and the Deadly Phantoms will be battling it out this week with games 1-3 tonight, followed by the rest of the series next week. Will the ZSC Esports secure their first "threepeat" or will the Deadly Phantoms back on top in the DACH community? Who do you think will hoist the trophy?

For the fourth consecutive time we are seeing ZSC Esports and Deadly Phantoms clash in the GCL finals! While the former German juggernaut of the Phantoms secured five consecutive titles (from GCL2 to GCL6), the Swiss Lions will be keen on crowning themselves back-to-back-to-back DACH champion for the first time. While ZSC Esports secured their spot in the finals with two comfortable sweeps against Deggendorfer SC Esports and Red Bull Munich Esports, the German outfit had to go through two tougher matchups. Beating DEG Esports in round 1 in five games and securing their final spot with a game 7 semifinals victory over Team NGU. Both teams are well-experienced and have faced each other many times in the German Championship League. We do not expect anything less than a tight and exciting series to finish this 9th GCL campaign. One of the most important factor for the success of each team will be consistency. 

Community prediction: 4-3 ZSC Esports
