1win Wins Moscow Cyber Games, Dealing a Blow to HOTU's Major Hopes

1win defeated HOTU in the Moscow Cyber Games final to win the tournament. With this result, the team earned a spot in PGL Major Singapore Stage 2. For HOTU, the final was a big opportunity, since a win would have guaranteed them a Major invite.

HOTU put up a tough fight in the final. David "n0rb3r7" Danielyan and his team came back from 4:8 down on Dust2 to tie the score at 11:11. However, they could not defend the attack on B site in round 23 and lost the match.

Europe's last invite spot is still uncertain. HOTU is the third favorite on the HLTV simulator after the second result. If 100 Thieves wins the FiRe Last Chance tournament in Argentina, they could take that spot. fnatic is 18th in Europe, but it needs 100 Thieves to lose and the rival network to be recalculated.

HOTU beat Wildcard earlier, so it will want the North American team to win in Argentina, since that victory would raise the value of the rival network. If BESTIA or BARCA wins, fnatic would be the team most likely to get the invite.
