Team Secret is eliminated, and Natus Vincere advance to the Grand Final of ESL One Germany 2020
Today's gaming day has brought the biggest sensation for a long time. The European ??Team Secret is eliminated from ESL One Germany 2020, finishing in 4th place. Before that, the team became champion of all 8 major tournaments held in Europe since April this year.
Team Secret vs. Team Liquid
Of course, before the match, ??Team Secret was considered the main favorite to win this match and the tournament as a whole. The recent defeat to ??Mudgolems in the upper bracket was a coincidence in the community's mind, and the bookmakers gave a 5.000 odd to ??Team Liquid's victory.
The first map lasted 42 minutes and was full of unexpected moments, as well as several comebacks. From the beginning, ??Team Secret got the advantage and, by the 25th minute, had 10 thousand gold more than its opponent. But as it turned out, ??Team Liquid was able to turn that map over. Unsuccessful entry to the high ground from ??Team Secret:
On the second map, to the surprise of many, ??Team Secret failed to impose a fight and lost in just 25 minutes. As a result, ??Team Liquid moves on, and ??Team Secret leaves the tournament, taking 4th place and earning $25,000.
Natus Vincere vs. Mudgolems
The second for today was the final of the upper bracket, where ??Natus Vincere and ??Mudgolems met. After ??Mudgolems' crushing victory over ??Team Secret, the team was considered the favorite in today's match.
The first map between the teams was extremely boring: ??Natus Vincere had a perfect match without giving the opponent a chance. On the second map, everything was much more interesting. On the 30th minute, ??Mudgolems had an advantage of 8 thousand gold, and it already seemed that play would continue on the third map, but a great fight from ??Natus Vincere on its half of the map was the beginning of the comeback.
We recommend viewing the second map. As a result, ??Natus Vincere won with a 2:0 score and reached the Grand Final.
