At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014. The inaugural ELeague season finished with a classic grand final between Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams Fnatic (FNC) and Virtus.pro (VP). FNC came into the final day of the league with the most momentum. From top to bottom, the lineup was firing on all cylinders. On the other end, VP finally made it to a grand final after an extended slump. It was anyones guess what kind of form they would be in.FNC chose Cobblestone for their first map, which is a map theyve routinely crushed due to their ability to isolate aim duels and execute great rushes on either bomb site. However, it was VP and not FNC that took advantage of the maps many angles. VP surprised many with an incredibly strong T-side and suffocated all FNC resistance.VP in-game leader Filip NEO Kubski was the star of the show. His calls on when to rush a specific bomb site were impeccable and his call outs on positioning were on the mark. The best part for VP fans was his carrrying ability.dddddddddddd NEO looked unstoppable as the driving force behind VPs attack when Pawe? byali Bieliński or Janusz Snax Pogorzelski struggled. The Poles would close out the first map, thought of as their opponents specialty, 16-10.The next map was VPs home turf, Mirage. On paper, the grand final was a wrap. VP are monstrous on this map; in fact, they are arguably the best team in the world on it. But FNCs resilience and legendary bounce-back ability made it a match. It was a close affair when the first half ended, but Snax took over in the second. He carried the majority of the fights and led in kills, but his clutch rounds were the most impressive. Snax helped his team return in a big way and allowed VP to essentially cruise to a victory and end the downturn that has haunted them for much of 2016. ' ' '
