WW's journey to the trophy was marked by resilience. They initially fell to Virtus.pro in the group stage but rebounded to defeat one of the tournament favorites, TDK, in a challenging semi-final match.

On the other hand, Virtus.pro had a smoother path, winning their matches with minimal resistance and only dropping two maps along the way, largely due to the strong performance of Vladimir 'b1st' Krasikov.

The final itself was a tightly contested series. Virtus.pro started strong, winning on their opponent's map pick, Mirage, to take a 1-0 lead. However, WW responded effectively, claiming victories on Nuke and Dust2 to eventually establish a 2-1 lead.

A decisive match on Cache saw Virtus.pro level the series, propelled by an impressive performance from Alexander 'AquaRS' Kovalev. The decider, played on Anubis, featured deko's exceptional display, earning him a remarkable 3.44 rating and a +21.92% impact on the CT side, sealing the championship for WW.

This victory is particularly noteworthy for WW, which includes several prominent full-time streamers like Ivan 'StRoGo' Shurpatov, who boasts over 2.2 million followers on Twitch. Meanwhile, Virtus.pro will reflect on their performance as a positive step, given the enhancement to their VRS ranking despite the missed title opportunity.
