Continuing on from its historic victory at ELeague's Season One finals, Virtus Pro has once again proven that it's a team that should not be overlooked having gone on to win at DreamHack Bucharest.
Having topped Group A with wins in its two matches against Gambit and Heroic, Virtus Pro - alongside Team EnVyUs - was promoted into the knockout stage with the winners of Group B, Team Dignitas and Cloud9.
It was the semi-final match that held the biggest resistance to what was otherwise a confident display by VP, with Dignitas managing to secure a victory in the second game of the series and stalling it out over the full three matches of the tournament.
It was a tough but strong start for Virtus Pro in the grand finals against Cloud9. VP lost both pistol rounds but still took an early lead by the first half on Train, leading 12-3 by the switch before ultimately winning the first map 16-9.
Cloud9 came out fighting in the second map - Cobble - taking a close lead 9-6. The second half was a different story, however, with a dominant Virtus Pro preventing a single round win for C9 -going on to win 10 rounds in a row and take the game with another 16-9 victory. With that, they sealed the title.
Having won the DreamHack Bucharest CS:GO event, Virtus Pro claimed $50,000 in winnings and proven, once again, that they are still a team to be reckoned with.
