The grand finals matched BC.Game against ENCE, whose recently promoted academy roster had similarly dominated their path through the bracket. Despite the significant gap in individual talent, ENCE proved competitive throughout the series.
On Mirage, the Finnish side controlled much of the action, building an 11-6 advantage before ultimately falling 13-11. Mongolian players Azbayar "Senzu" Munkhbold and Ayush "mzinho" Batbold delivered standout performances to secure the map for BC.Game.
Nuke saw ENCE jump ahead 4-1 on their terrorist side, but BC.Game narrowed the first half deficit to 7-5. The favorites surged in the second half, reaching match point at 12-9. Niki "Cliqq" Kinnunen's strong showing helped ENCE force overtime, but BC.Game's superior firepower and experience proved decisive as they closed out the map 16-13 for a 2-0 series victory.
BC.Game will next compete at the Esports World Cup Last Chance Qualifier scheduled for August 7th.
