MVP PK beat Grayhound to win CS:GO Asia Summit

MVP PK have been crowned champions of CS:GO Asia Summit 2018 after beating Grayhound 2-0 (16-9 on Mirage, 19-17 on Nuke).

The four-team event culminated with MVP PK, who had defeated BOOT-d[S] in the previous stage of the bracket, taking on Grayhound, who had edged past TYLOO in a three-map series.

The title decider kicked off on Inferno, where MVP PK proved why this was their map pick as they lost just three rounds throughout the first half. Grayhound still mounted a comeback into the map, stringing five rounds together at the beginning of the half to bring the deficit to just three rounds. 

Nevertheless, Hyun-Pyo "⁠XigN⁠" Lee managed to defuse the bomb in the 21st round to deny Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong from clutching a 1v3, and, after that, MVP PK quickly wrapped things up, 16-9.

MVP PK did not lose a single map throughout the event

On Nuke, Grayhound's map pick, MVP PK got off to a flying start as they secured a dominant 7-0 lead as Counter-Terrorists. The Australians then finally found a footing in the game, but they still found themselves down by five rounds come the end of the half. 

Having won the second pistol round, Grayhound seemed set to turn the game, and they even hit map point. But after winning the last two rounds of regulation, the South Koreans restored parity at 15-15, and, carrying their momentum into overtime, eventually ran out 19-17 winners to lift the CS:GO Asia Summit 2018 trophy.
