Despite the changes in the team, the Portuguese team managed to meet expectations and get its first LAN title.
Eight teams gathered in Poland to compete for a prize pool of $100,000 and a slot in the next season of the ESL Pro League. And while Eternal Fire was perhaps the main favorite for the title, SAW came to the tournament as a team that has positively surprised more than once this year, and now they have proven that they can do it without Rafael "arrozdoca" Wing, who was benched at the beginning of the month because I asked him to leave the team when his contract expires at the end of the year.
Andre "Ag1l" Gil played for the team, and SAW emerged as the winner from group A, which also included future rivals in the finals B8, as well as Eternal Fire and Team Falcons, for which Alexander played for the first time in LAN "s1mple" Kostyliev, but without much success.
In group B we saw three Brazilian teams and Monte, and paiN Gaming and Monte reached the playoffs, while Legacy and MiBR were eliminated in the group stage.
SAW managed to survive Monte against whom they won the first map in the final 24th round, while they won the second only after double overtime, while in the final itself they were convincing with 13-3 and 13-5 victories on Ancient and Nuke maps.
With this victory, they showed that the team still has what it takes to succeed, and now they have a new big test in front of them in the form of EU RMR qualifications for the Shanghai Major, where they will try to qualify for the biggest CS2 tournament for the second time in a row.">Despite the changes in the team, the Portuguese team managed to meet expectations and get its first LAN title.
