The Turkish team will play against Team Spirit for the BetBoom Dacha trophy.
All-Turkish CS2 team Eternal Fire are in the grand finals of BetBoom Dacha after a surprising 2-0 victory against MOUZ in the lower bracket consolidation final on Saturday, Aug. 31.
When everybody was expecting MOUZ to qualify for the grand finals and play a rematch against Team Spirit, Eternal Fire put on a masterclass on both Dust 2 (13-10) and Nuke (19-17) to send MOUZ packing. They had played each other earlier in the tournament and MOUZ defeated them comfortably.
Eternal Fire will have to keep this level of performance to have any chance of beating Spirit tomorrow in the BetBoom Dacha grand finals as the Russians have been one of the best teams in the world in 2024 and nearly flawless in Belgrade, Serbia this time around. Eternal Fire's captain Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli said in the post-match interview with hosts Pala "Pala" Gilroy Sen and Anastasija "Heccu" Tolmačeva that they have the night to prepare against Spirit.
"We have the night to prepare, Spirit are a great team and MOUZ are also a great team, I'm very glad that we're in the final and we'll do our best tomorrow for our fans from all over the world," MAJ3R said.
