The German powerhouse,
mousesports dominated the Counter-Strike tournament at this weekend's CPL World Tour event in Barcelona, taking home a check for
10,000 €. Among the 16 teams in the tourney were such teams as
SK,
NiP,
mibr,
astralis,
3D and
coL. However, the competition was filled with upsets, with SK, astralis and 3D all dropping out in the first 3 rounds against relatively unknown teams.
The German team made it through the tournament undefeated, and managed to beat every serious contender in their run to the finals. The finals ended up being a complete blow-out, with
mouz beating the favourites
coL 16-2 on dust2. mousesports' full list of results can be found below.

The tournament ended up being a disappointment for many of the favourites, but bodes well for some of the less-known teams such as
g3x,
Catch and
GG, who all played exceptionally well. Old-school team
NiP can't help but be disappointed with a third place finish after being dropped into the losers' bracket early on in the tournament by
x6tence. The full standings can be seen below.
