It must be said that the Mexican outfit was the surprise winner of the tournament. After all, STMN Esports didn't technically qualify to participate in the Challenge Finals as they finished outside of the top four teams during the regular season. Fortunately for them, they were given Vanguard Gaming's spot. The latter, who finished second in the regular season, was disqualified after they could not obtain their US visas in time for the in-person tournament.
Regardless, STMN Esports showed everyone why they deserved to be included as they showcased their excellent team coordination and communication throughout the Challenge Finals. They were a little shaky during the upper bracket semi-finals but won 3-2 against West Coast to proceed to the upper bracket finals against Tribe Gaming NA. This was an easier match for STMN Esports as they won 3-1.
This meant that they made it to the Grand Finals, and the only team standing in their way was, again, Tribe Gaming NA (as they beat West Coast in the lower bracket final). STMN Esports made lightwork of them, however, and cruised to a flawless 3-0 result to win the tournament!
THE WINNING PLAY! CONGRATULATIONS @STMNEsports! #SnapdragonProSeries @Brawl_esports pic.twitter.com/kWoLUcDfEo
