So far biggest Counter-Strike: Global Offensive event at  ESWC 2012 is completed. 

As expected from the very begining of the Electronic Sports World Cup 2012 in the final  NIP met  VeryGames. They already played against each other at  DreamHack Valencia and NIP became stronger there.

This final started from Dust2 map and it was an easy walk for guys from Sweden [16:2].

Train map started in the same bad way for VeryGames as in Dust2, but when score became [15:8] VG enabled nitro-mode and made it [15:14]. A lot of viewers started to wait for overtimes, but Ninjas In Pijamas decided to complete this battle during the main rounds. 

In the third place decider game  Area51 won over the  n!faculty [2:1] per maps. 

Need to notice that this event became the first big debut in CS:GO for legendary CS 1.6 team -  ESC Gaming. Due to the fact that Polish guys didn't reach semifinals, we couldn't call this debut as succesful, but same time need to state that ESC made a switch just recently.

Final standings and prize distribution for ESWC CS:GO:

1.  NIP - $10,000
2.  VeryGames - $6,000
3.  Area51 - $4,000
