The Skyesports Championship 2024 concluded with 3DMAX emerging as the champions after a gripping series of matches. Facing off against The MongolZ in the Grand Final, 3DMAX defied expectations to claim their first-ever LAN title.
Entering the Grand Final as significant underdogs, 3DMAX demonstrated they were more than capable of rising to the occasion. The match, held on Anubis and Ancient, was marked by 3DMAX’s dominant performance. Despite the 2-0 scoreline, their victory was far from narrow; they thoroughly outplayed The MongolZ, making it clear from the outset that nerves were not a factor.
Graviti’s performance in the Grand Final was particularly noteworthy. Despite previous inconsistencies, he delivered a stellar 38:20 series, crucially preventing The MongolZ from gaining any traction. His outstanding play was complemented by solid contributions from teammates Ex3rcice, Maka, and Djoko, all of whom posted impressive numbers.
In contrast, The MongolZ struggled significantly. The Grand Final highlighted an unusual dip in form for the team, which has been struggling in the new CS2 season. Their performance in this crucial match fell short of their usual high standards.
No player from The MongolZ could claim they lived up to their usual performance levels. Although bLitz had a decent showing in the first map, his 3:15 performance in the second map was markedly underwhelming. This lack of impact was evident as no MongolZ player managed to reach 25 kills across the series, unlike 3DMAX, where four players achieved this milestone.
Overall, while 3DMAX celebrated their monumental win, The MongolZ were left to reflect on a disappointing performance in what was supposed to be a defining moment of their season. As the new CS2 season progresses, both teams will have valuable insights to take forward from this dramatic Grand Final.
