The StarLadder CS:GO Berlin Major 2019 has concluded, with Astralis defeating surprise opponent Avangar in the final to claim the title.

In their victory, Astralis not only become the first organization with four Major titles to their name, but also the first team to win three Majors consecutively.

The Danish squad pulled off the victory despite coming under plenty of scrutiny in the months leading up to the event, with Team Liquid having dethroned them as the world number one. Nevertheless, Astralis were able to overcome their usurpers and secure the trophy.

Here’s everything you need to know about what went down at the event.

New Champions Stage Rules and Format

The New Champions stage used a single-elimination bracket. No double eliminations here, if you lose, you’re out. The seeding is based the teams’ scores from the New Legends stage, and teams with the same score were seeded based on their Final ELO rating from the New Legends stage.

All playoff series were best-of-three matches. While only one team – Astralis – could lift the trophy, all eight playoff teams have now already confirmed their spot in the New Legends stage of the next major.
