Eternal Fire have secured the Stake Ranked Episode 5 title after a 3-2 win over fnatic in the grand final, coming back from a 0-2 deficit after a fantastic show of resilience.
“I can’t really put my feelings into words. It truly feels like a dream,” Eternal Fire CEO Furkan Güven said on X.
The grand final was a bout between two Major hopefuls, with the winner set to increase their chances to around 90%, while the loser will most likely be left without a Major spot.
In the end, it was Eternal Fire who battled to victory thanks to a great performance by Samet “jottAAA” Köklü (1.21 series rating), finishing off a lower bracket run that included wins over Nemesis, BIG, Astralis and MIBR.
The end of Stake Ranked Episode 5 means that only five teams remain in the running for the three remaining Major spots in Europe.
Eternal Fire are the biggest winners of the event after rising to 87.9% thanks to winning their third tournament in a month and a half, while fnatic are down to 17.5%.
Just after the event’s last match. Placements may change as other events conclude.
