The counter-Strike club Oglum surprised twice on the last matchday of the 99Liga season 18: in the Lower bracket final, the team initially defeated defending champion No Limit Gaming 2:1. In the final match, CC Oglum sat down with 2:0 (16:13; 16:12) beat favorite Cowana Gaming.

"I said from the beginning that we would win 2-0. We just knew that we were the better players," said CC-Oglum player Markus "maRky" Reitenbach after the final. "We didn't start the final so well, but that's what happens when you've played three cards before. But in the end it was enough".

CC Oglum is thus the last winner of the 99Liga for the time being. From next year, the two German top leagues 99Liga and ESL Championship will merge to form the joint ESL Championship by 99Damage.

But not only for the 99Liga, the end of the season means an end, but also for CC Oglum. Marky says the team won't be around in the future. "We will go our separate ways, the players will surely find a new home before next season".
