The Six Major Raleigh 2019 is in the books. The group stage saw a total elimination of the APAC and NA division presence as well as some massive upsets. Russian newcomers forZe had been tearing down teams left and right but were humbled by their semifinals matchup with G2 Esports.
Despite five North American division teams being present at the event, none of them earned a spot in the grand final. The hopes of North America bringing home a title were crushed when TSM understandably fell to G2 Esports. A win against G2 on LAN is a tall order for any team and TSM just couldn’t make it happen this time around.
Team Empire and G2 faced off in the grand final but it was Empire who emerged victoriously. After an exhausting best-of-five, Empire shockingly humbled G2 3-1.
With the grand final closed out, fans now have their Six Major Raleigh champions. Here are the final standings.
