PGL S1 Finals viewer's guide

We've prepared a viewer's guide in light of tomorrow's kick-off of the $75,000 PGL Season 1 Finals featuring fnatic, TSM, Virtus.pro and Liquid.

Bucharest's Grand Cinema & More digital cinema complex will play a host to PGL Season 1 Finals from October 2-4, featuring four teams, who have qualified through the online phase.

Virtus.pro, TSM and fnatic managed to pull through in the European part, while in North America, Liquid surprised many by taking down Luminosity for the Finals spot shortly after acquiring Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin.

TSM's success started in Romania - will they go back to winning ways?

The four teams will duke it out in a double elimination, best-of-three bracket, barring the best-of-five grand final, for a share of the $75,000 prizepool, with additional $10,000 going to travel support.
