SportsGamers,
The eighth season of GCL action kicked off in mid-June and these passionate gamers have been going at it throughout the hot summer months to once again crown a champion of the DACH-community. It's been the deal of two juggernauts lately as the long time torchbearer Deadly Phantoms has been joined by Swiss outfit ZSC Esports at the very top of the tables. At the end, it was a battle between these two that we got to witness in the finals, and eventually ZSC Esports came out on top! This is the second consecutive championship for the Lions.
To cap off their successful night, also the GCL Cup final was played, where the Lions faced Hyperion. Despite the excellent challenge posed by Hyperion, they didn't manage to stand up to the giants, and Zürich secured their second trophy for the night, the first time ever a team wins both the GCL league and the GCL Cup in the same season.
ZSC Esports' road to the championship:
- #1 seed from group 2 with the record 19-1-0
- Round 1: Bye
- Round 2: vs Beastie Boys (29) 4-0
- Round 3: vs EiSKALATiON (13) 4-0
- Quarterfinals: vs SCB eSports (10) 4-0
