The Grand Slam battle of Intel goes on
The Season 2 of the Intel Grand Slam has been picked up by none other than Team Liquid and it has done this within a record time which spanned as much as 144 days. In fact, this astounding and unbelievable achievement has compelled the hand of ESL, and it has succeeded in adjusting the rules and regulations just before the start of the Season 3 of Intel Grand Slam. Incidentally, this is going to consist of a number of events which are regarded somewhat more prestigious and respectful as compared to the others.
Team Liquid who is already at the forefront in this particular Season 3 of the championship has come across yet another success which they have attained at IEM Chicago, that immediately followed the ESL One Cologne where they were lucky enough to win that particular event and also in receiving the coveted gold bars along with a breathtaking cash prize of as many as $1,000,000.
Astralis in the quest of regaining their throne once again
One cannot deny the fact that the year 2018 is definitely considered to be the year belonging to the Astralis. It is a fact that Team Liquid has been referred to as the “Astralis of America” in spite of the fact that it has not succeeded in overcoming the team from Denmark on quite a few LAN final showdowns.
