Last weekend the Intel League LAN Finals were held at BenQ LanCraft which also held their own Counter-Strike tournament. BEASTS took down eSuba in the grand finals of both tournaments.
BEASTS were the defending champions of Intel League whose LAN finals were held in a best-of-three single elimination bracket for the four teams that qualified through the online stage.

Opening map of the grand final was de_nuke and saw BEASTS jump out to a 15-8 lead before eSuba came back to make it 15-14. In the end, the Slovakians won the last round to secure map one. Next up was de_tuscan which once again came down to the very last round after a 8-7 half, with eSuba coming out on top.
The stage was set for a deciding map de_train which was BEASTS' choice. eSuba won the first five rounds as terrorists, but were only able to score one more round out of the next seventeen as BEASTS went on to win 16-6, 2-1 overall.
