Press was unanimous to celebrate this match as one of the best Counter-Strike games ever:
"Sunday night might just have been electronic sports' biggest night ever as two teams took each other and a passionate audience to the limit." - www.gotfrag.com
"It is pretty indescribable when you have about 5000 people screaming the name of their favorite player or team, something which you can really only experience being there. I loved every second of it, even during games I didn't enjoy so much" - www.gamingjunky.com
"Living up to its' reputation the ESWC delivered a very well executed tournament with a Grand Final match that will be remembered for a long time." - www.gameriot.com
"Oh, and gaming as a sport? It's reality here in Europe. The final saw a 5,000 seat room go well past that with hundreds standing to watch what turned into a three-hour epic. If Chess can be an alternate sport option at schools, why not CS?" - www.gizmodo.com
