The European team FUT Esports emerged victorious at the Exort The Proving Grounds Season 4, which concluded on September 24. In the finals, they defeated ENCE with a score of 2-0, securing the series in two maps. For their victory, FUT received $40,988 in prize money, while the Finnish team settled for second place and $23,422.

Intense Final

The final was closely contested, but it was FUT who maintained control. The match on Dust2 ended 13-11, and on Mirage, it was 13-10. ENCE tried to hold on until the end, but both times the European squad proved stronger in the decisive moments.

A Series of Setbacks for ENCE

This victory was particularly significant for FUT due to their rivalry with ENCE. For the Finns, the loss marked their seventh consecutive defeat against the lineup that once played under the NAVI Junior tag. This series of setbacks against this opponent seems to be a genuine psychological hurdle that ENCE has yet to overcome.

Path to the Trophy

On their way to the championship, FUT first defeated Partizan in the quarterfinals, then dealt with Betera in the semifinals, and confidently overcame ENCE in the decisive match. Their performance once again confirmed that they are one of the most consistent tier-2 teams, capable of competing for trophies even against more renowned opponents.

ENCE, on the other hand, were left without the cup once again, despite being considered favorites before the tournament. The loss in the final only underscores the need for the team to address internal issues to return to winning streaks.
