CLG defeated Liquid 2-1 to win the North American division of the RGN Pro Series (14-16 on de_train, 16-6 on de_dust2, and 16-14 on de_overpass).

The North American instalment of the RGN Pro Series concluded last night with a grand final pairing together two North American teams often casually listed as second and third best, CLG and Liquid, respectively.

CLG came into the game after a disappointing showing at ESL One Cologne 2015 this past weekend, where the team took Na`Vi to the wire and nearly advanced to the quarter-finals.

With Liquid having to win two best-of-threes and also using the teamlessly woebegone Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen as a stand-in for another stand-in, Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin, Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag's team still managed to take the first map of de_train off of CLG with a 16-14 scoreline.

However, led by the fragging power of Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik, and with AWPer Josh "⁠jdm64⁠" Marzano chiming in as well, CLG managed to take the series over the next two maps, sweeping Liquid on de_dust2 16-6 and grinding out a win on de_overpass 16-14 which nearly saw Liquid come back to take the map.
