CSGL won the ESL Polish Championship after seeing off Vexed Gaming by a 2-1 scoreline (16-9 on de_mirage, 7-16 on de_cobblestone and 16-10 on de_overpass). The Polish city of Lodz hosted the offline finals of the national CS:GO championship, featuring the top four sides of the online portion of the league, which is organised by ESL. With Virtus.pro out of the picture as they decided not to take part in this competition, Vexed Gaming and CSGL were both favored to reach the title decider, and the duo managed to live up to expectations, advancing from the semi-finals after posting 2-0 wins over ATB and 31337, respectively.
The grand final kicked off with CSGL picking up a 16-9 victory on de_mirage following some solid work on the CT side of the map, in which they dropped just two rounds. Vexed then tied the series up with a convincing 16-7 success on de_cobblestone, but the former Gamers2 side got back into the game and secured a 16-10 victory on de_overpass after taking a 12-3 lead to the break.
