ESL One: Cologne 2020 NA ran from 18th August to the 29th. Running parallel to the European event, the same level of competitive CS:GO riddled the competition. Accordingly, $125,000 offered to just 8 teams made for a far more personal competition. Read on for a recap!
As outlined by the title, Evil Geniuses eventually claimed the crown. Luckily, we predicted this perfectly. However, some of our other predictions didn’t stick the landing as viewable in the Group Stage.
Group Performances for ESL One: Cologne 2020 NA
Group A
- Chaos Esports Club – 1st
- FURIA Esports – 2nd
- 100 Thieves – 3rd
- Gen.G Esports – 4th
Group B
- Evil Geniuses – 1st
- Team Liquid – 2nd
- Cloud9 – 3rd
- Triumph – 4th
Only the top 2 from each group progressed. While Group B took place as expected, Group A saw Chaos Esports and FURIA Esports sweep the rug from under 100 Thieves and Gen.G. It all boiled down to a decider between 100T and FURIA.
Accordingly, the Playoffs bracket then took place:
Evil Geniuses may have won, but they had to fight for it. The Grand Finals were especially intense as it boiled down to Map 5 where EG stole it from Team Liquid. EG are back to back NA champions!
