nEophyte win MCR 2015

nEophyte became champions of MČR 2015 following a 2-1 victory over eSuba (de_mirage 4-16, de_cache 16-11, de_inferno 16-9), which took place in Brno, Czech Republic from November 6-7.

Teams from Czech Republic and Slovakia gathered points since the beginning of the year in numerous online and offline tournaments to make it to MČR (Czech Championship), which featured eight teams and 70,000 CZK (~$2,800) in prizemoney.

Teams were split into two groups, depending on their placing in the ladder, which were played in a double elimination, best-of-three bracket, barring the best-of-one initial round.

Majestic Lions, featuring names such as Peter "⁠uno⁠" Lipowski and Karel "⁠fredi⁠" Královec, were one of the favourites of the entire tournament due to their win at a local LAN three weeks ago, but failed to make it out of groups following losses to EERINESS and Zero Damage.

eSuba and nEophyte advanced from first places of the two groups, and both prevailed in a fairly confident manner in their semi-final battles up against eXtatus and EERINESS, respectively.

The two then met in the best-of-three grand final, and it was eSuba who took the lead in the series after a very comfortable de_mirage. Erik "⁠ecko⁠" Koširer's nEophyte managed to come back from the deficit though and surprised eSuba with a strong de_cache and de_inferno performance to take the title.
