Team Secret — ESL One Katowice 2019 Champions!

And we have ESL One Katowice 2019 winners! Team Secret led by Clement "Puppey" Ivanov fought Gambit Esports in the grand final and managed to demolish them with a 3:0 score. Ludwig "zai" Wåhlberg was no questions final's MVP.

A curious fact: these two teams met three times in Katowice, and all three times the European team had whitewashed the opponents (total maps score — 7:0).

Puppey and his associates have shown that they do not intend to slow down their pace and lower game quality even after they guaranteed themselves a ticket to The International 2019. Gambits are also great lads. Kiev's Minor will start in less than two weeks, and such a high result in Poland should boost their confidence. 

OG has hit the bronze, but couldn't manage a single win against the CIS teams.
