Yesterday marked the conclusion of the Roman Imperium Cup VIII grand final, with M80 emerging victorious.
In the final, the team defeated Luminosity Gaming 2-0 in maps—13-10 on Dust2 and 13-0 on Cache. Third and fourth places went to Iberian Soul and 6666 Esports.
The championship was divided into three stages: the group stage, the play-in stage, and the playoffs. The matches in the final stage of the event were played in a double-elimination bracket, while the penultimate stage featured a single-elimination format.
