EnVyUs Win Gfinity Spring Masters

Team EnVyUs emerged victorious at the Gfinity CS:GO Spring Masters I over the weekend.

The event was the first to be held at Gfinity’s new eSports arena, which saw some of the biggest names in the Counter Strike world compete for a share of the $50,000 prize pool.

Both Team EnVyUs and NiP made it to the final, NiP took the first game, but then EnVyUs took the next three games on de_cache, de_dust2 and de_cobblestone to claim the win and $25,000. NiP took home $15,000 for 2nd place. Elsewhere Virtus.Pro took third and $7,000 while Cloud 9 took 4th and $3,000.

Apart from some minor technical issues on day one the event can certainly be considered a massive success for Gfinity. I have only heard positive things about the venue and the event posted some great viewing figures across the weekend. Add in a sell out for championship Sunday and things are looking great for eSports in the UK.

eSports! I joined God is a Geek all the way back in September 2013 and since then have spent most of my time on Dota 2, and occasionally posting the odd review, news article or totally wrong predictions for The International. When I am not playing Dota I can probably be seen watching some kind of strange eSport or begging for more Twitter followers (@MikeStubbsy if you are interested). Aside from GiaG I am a computing student, football coach and major Apple fanboy.
