CPL Coverage: The Grand Final

The CPL 2006 Winter Championships has been an extremely exciting event. The first group stage was completed as per expectation and it seemed we were in for what some might call a 'boring' CPL. However, the second group stage came and proved that this was not going to be any ordinary event with teams like Sweden NiP, United States compLexity and Canada Evil Geniuses being eliminated.

The single elimination came with further upsets, with teams like United States 3D, Sweden SK.swe and United Kingdom 4 Kings being knocked out early in the stage. So, just before the final, here is how the current standings look:

1st: Sweden fnatic - $30,000 USD
2nd: Norway mYm - $21,000 USD
3rd: Poland Pentagram - $14,000 USD
4th: France Against All Authority - $9,000 USD
5th: China Hacker.Gaming - $6,000 USD
6th: Korea Project_kr - $5,000 USD
7th: Finland 69°N-28°E - $3,000 USD
8th: United States Jax Money Crew - $2,000 USD
9-16th: 3D, 4Kings, Check Six, rSports, SK.swe, MiBR, Pandemic, x3o - $1,250 USD

Without much further ado, I present to you the Grand Final:

If MYM is wise team they will choose dust2, because fnatic clearly was having a hard time with pentagram on the CT side and MYM will be able to play good on both halfs.. It leaves us to de_train which will probably be fnatics choose.. They are very skilled clan in train and i have no idea of MYM's playing in de_train, but i would say MYM takes d2 and fnatic takes train.. Both clans will win their own maps and what will be 3rd map? Good final coming up! I'm almost 100% sure that there will be 3rd map when these teams face eachother
