WRTP win Intel Challenge Katowice

European conglomerate team WRTP have won the Intel Challenge Katowice over North American rivals CLG Red with a 2-0 score (16-10 on de_mirage and 16-8  on de_cache).

For those still looking to get their fix of Counter-Strike action at IEM Katowice, the Intel Challenge Katowice tournament featured eight female teams dueling for $30,000 across two days of group stage play and a single elimination playoff bracket.

The group stages for the Intel Challenge saw most of the heavy hitting favourites advance such as CLG Red and WRTP alongside scrappy contenders Karma and LDLC fe.

The semifinals featured an intense North American thriller between CLG Red and Karma as two maps went to overtime, but it was ultimately Stephanie "⁠missharvey⁠" Harvey & co. who triumped 2-1 and advanced to the grand final. The other side of the playoff bracket saw WRTP convincingly trump LDLC fe 2-0 with little problems.

With three of the current members on WRTP having won the Intel Challenge in Katowice in 2015, the Swedish-Russian-Hungarian-Danish team set about defending their title with a 12-3 CT half on de_mirage. Despite Christine "⁠potter⁠" Chi and crew almost clawing their way back into a comeback scenario, the European team closed out the first map 16-10.

On de_cache, the story was more one of WRTP's control as Zainab "⁠zAAz⁠" Turkie played a big part in her team's victorious 16-8 win to thereby take home first place and a $15,000 check.
