The grand final kicked off with the two sides picking up each other's initial map picks, with Lyngby Vikings decimating ALTERNATE aTTaX on Mirage thanks to a dominate CT showing.

With ALTERNATE aTTaX finding their footing in the series, the third map was over in an instant. A strong CT side, followed up by a well-executed offence, secured a quick 16-6 victory on Train for the Germans.

The Danish squad's tenacity surfaced on Dust2 as they refused to let the series slip away. A huge performance from Malthe "⁠Twinx⁠" Jensen powered Lyngby Vikings to success, forcing a fifth and final map.

The deciding map came down to Vertigo and ALTERNATE aTTaX's patience slimmed. The German squad launched into halftime with a 12-3 lead, looking to lock down the series hastily. Lyngby Vikings replied on the Terrorist side with nine rounds of their own, but the deficit proved too large to overcome as Stefan "⁠stfN⁠" Seier and squad closed out the map 16-12, and the series 3-2, to lift the Esportal Global Finals trophy.
