The inevitable has happened and VeryGames walk away as i40 CS:S Champions. Brilliant play from the Frenchman.
VeryGames take their 15th round of the match, mole has been the stand out player for Demonic here, as has NBK for VeryGames
Comedy knife kill for NBK on Cauzed there as VeryGames take the pistol round to put one hand on the trophy.
VeryGames take the first half 12-3, just dominating the UK side. The writing seems to be on the wall
VeryGames answer back quickly, taking the next two rounds, 10-3 now and DEMONiC have it all to do.
The momentum is slowly beginning to shift as the crowd get right behind DEMONiC, VeryGames still strong favourites though.
This time DEMONiC convert the deagle round. Cauzed pulls off a 1v3 to take the round. Close as it comes.
Absolutely excellent play from mole as he wins his side another round. 8-2 to VeryGames
VeryGames silence the crowd as they Deco the DEMONiC side. Just a class apart.
Mole opens up the 8th round with two entry frags allowing DEMONiC to storm the B site. The crowd go mad and the Brits get their 1st round
7-0 to VeryGames but the crowd are right behind the home team, Down to a 1v1 and they went absolutely wild.
Verygames extend their lead to 6-0 but DEMONiC are getting close
Verygames keep hold of their guns from the third round and take the fourth with ease, it's not looking good for DEMONiC
Wow, a three man from Shokkk see's them take the final of the three Eco's first buy round coming up now.
Quick round as VeryGames wipe out their opponents without a reply, get ready for another whitewash..
We are now live live live. DEMONiC starting T side of de_dust2
Ok, we're now up and running here. Very close to going live now!
Some minor delays have held the game back for a few minutes, still waiting on the players being set-up. Won't be long now.
The players are on the server, the warmup begins. Just minutes away now.
Teams setting up for the i40 CS:S final - not long now
What a heart attack inducing finale, simply amazing. I didn't think they could better the i39 final but that was sick! Community photo now!
Epsilon draw an uber from Dignitas giving them advantage with less than a minute to go, the crowd are on their feet but some how Dig hold!
Richard Lewis interviews the new kid on the block for i40 favourites VeryGames, Nathan "NBKK" Schmitt

Dignitas slow the game down, opting to protect their lead much to Byte's dismay. Insane back and forth goes on until Epsilon have the edge..
Dignitas looked to be rolling for a third cap when Shintaz produced an amazing string of backstabs to pull captures back in favour of Epsi.
Dignitas pull another one back despite the best efforts of cube to slow them with a sensational blind rocket on dunc, to great cheers, 2-1
F2 saves face from a poorly timed uber push when he air needles a pursuing soldier. Frantic action leads to a cap by a thousand cuts,1-1.
Epsilon's scouts manage to split Dignitas with a well timed backcap attempt. Darn manages a huge four man, to keep Dig in the round.
Tiebreaker map Badlands opens with a medic takedown from Darn which opens the door to any easy CP5, 1-0 Dignitas barely 4 minutes played.
Players and spectators alike return from a quick refreshment break. Darn wears the dearjohncarter rEJ shirt briefly to work the crowd...
Desperate play proves unfruitful for Epsilon. Gullywash ends in favour of Dig. Darn tells me he is too drunk, en route to the pisser. Pussy!
It's still 3-1 Dignitas as the video returns to rapturous applause. Haza goes huge on a scrappy CP3, only for dunc to eat a bodyshot.
Epsilon bring the mayhem in round three, cube capping last with an equalizer to the face 2-1. Dignitas reply with as the video feed dies
Dignitas keep momentum in to Round 2, taking another round with some powerplay from legendary demoman, ryb 2-0 Dignitas.
Finally Dignitas get a break and out DM Slick's boys moving to cap last like a hot knife through butter.1-0 Dignitas.
A seesaw first round on Gully, sees ryb bottle Extremer. Shintaz replies with a sublime backstab on Dunc, as the crowd waits in suspense...
Epsilon reclaim CP2 and hold off a desperate Dignitas in the dying minutes. Granary ends 3-2 and we move swiftly to Gullywash!
Dig take another six man on middle, but fail capitalise quickly. The crowd goes erupt as F2 saves himself from cratering with an uber.
The crowd goes wild as Epsilon a quick round. Cube salutes the crowd in a Darnesque moment, only for Diggy to wipe them in the next, 3-2
Things get very stalematey and Byte goads Dignitas in to a fail push, which sees Extremer rape his way to last, 2-1 Epsilon!
Third round sees Epsilon push straight through to Dignitas last point only for ryb to flip the script with a three man clutch, Byte orgasms!
Diggy take the second middle but fail to kill enough. Epsilon try to counter but ryb holds them off singlehanded and Dignitas push again.1-1
Game is live! Epsilon take the first middle with cube picking up three frags on the right. Failing on last, only to steal it with a backcap!
First map will be cp_granary, picked by Darn because "cube and wai are shit". Strategic stuff from the outspoken Finn!
Dave and Byte of ETF2L Radio fame are raring to go on the casting duties. They have just been handed the mic, it's on!
Byte is on stage giving Epsilon's wai what looks like a motivational massage as orchestral rock blast out. Very homoerotic!
The guys from CantFitMyN are rooting for Team Dignitas! Friends in high places for the defending champions. Tension continues to build...
The players all appear to be ingame now, doing their last minute configurations. Things should he underway in a matter of moments...
TCM-Gaming's Coinz says Dignitas will concentrate on covering demoman ryb with scout protection, and pushing directly to the point
Cadred's own Dave is distributing this season's ETF2L prizes as provided by Valve. He's got the crowd eating out of his hand!
The main stage is packed out, no seats and they aren't even playing yet! Frag movies whet the crowd's appetite for carnage.
Dignitas Darn is sporting the Sgts Drill hat, getting in the soldier's mindset. Epsilon's hat selection is non existent. Very one sided!
Dignitas and Epsilon are carrying I'm their machines, flexin the guns and puffin out the chests. Mindgames!

So that's that - Na'Vi have won it. Hope you've enjoyed the coverage. Final standings, MVP nominations and Good LAN / Bad LAN to come.
Strobes and Blur's "Song 2" going off as Na'Vi flex and hug on the stage. It meant something. Someone give Rickeh the Samaritans number,
@felixjmorgan Na'Vi have just taken it 2 maps to 1... Domination from them on de_train and de_inferno
Na'Vi say "eat that" Rickeh - probably through a straw - as they win. Huge cheers, many celebrations on stage and they are worthy winners.
Nice commentator here - "Please stand up for the last round" - what if SK come back?
2-1 now to SK, with that man Markeloff getting the last frag for Na'Vi. A lot of quiet, blonde Swedes in the venue.
SK Gaming to take the pistol. Prolonging the agony, or start of a miraculous comeback?
Another huddle... Like an 80s movie in here.
OK, 10-2 shows some stones from Na'Vi... SK-Gaming are gonna have to really pull this one out the bag,
Squeaky bum time for SK Gaming at the moment (and Rickeh) 8-1 and SK Gaming struggling on terrorist side of de_inferno.
First round to SK Gaming to make it 4-1... My new underling Tom tells me another gallery is coming. TOO LATE TO APPEAR PRODUCTIVE TOM.
Before I had time to say that was a decent 3-0, it was 4-0... The "surprise" buy cost SK-Gaming it seems.
de_inferno is a great map for a decider - Na'Vi take pistol as CT.
Another great map, great final and another break... Seriously too close to call at the moment. Rickeh is on edge.
No Rickeh curse here... Na'Vi take de_train 16-5... Decider incoming. IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERE.
Nice from SK on inner to take it to 3-2... Still think it's too little too late, but what if I have caught the Rickeh CURSE?
3-0 to Na'Vi... Came at a cost though, RobbaN made some serious exit frags there. Too little too late?
Na'Vi have just bossed the pistol as they took inner. Going to take a lot to stop them and as I type that 2 eco kills from SK
Comfortable first half from Na'Vi, second starting now.
SK Gaming have been so good T side on train lately, Na'vi are on 11-3 as CT. Here's a pause or time out. Game to resume soon.
SK Gaming stepping this up now pulled back a few round and it's 9-3 thanks to a clutch from Edward. Still, Na'Vi are CT.
