Moche XL Esports has announced a return to Lisbon, which will host another Counter-Strike<\/a> tournament that offers $75,000 in cash prizes for the participating teams.<\/p>\n

After a successful event last year, Moche XL Esports made what was a predictable and easy decision to return to Lisbon, upping the prize pool by $25,000.<\/p>\n

Last year there were 6 teams that attended the Moche XL tournament; Movistar, Tempo Storm, Winstrike, Giants, HellRaisers and SK, who now in a way play under the name MIBR.<\/p>\n

The 2018 tournament featured the BO3 single-elimination bracket, with Winstrike facing off against Movistar Riders and Giants facing off against Tempo Storm in the first round.<\/p>\n

Winstrike, as expected, defeated Movistrike (2:0), while Giants managed to produce an upset win over Tempo Storm (2:1). The winners of the first matches were then put against SK and HellRaisers in the semi-finals of the tournament in hopes to get themselves a spot in the grand finals where they would get a shot at a $25.000 prize.<\/p>\n

Without any surprise, it was SK and HellRaisers who managed to advance through the semi-finals into the finals, where they faced off against each other in a highly entertaining match. Finals between the two sides were as expected close, which is especially true for the first map (Cache) when HellRaisers almost managed to bounce back from a 10:5 score from the first half. While they did manage to drag the match into overtime, it was SK who prevailed and secured the win (19:17).<\/p>\n\n\n
