We saw some excellent casting, production, and of course those fantastic CS: GO matches taking place during the VS Gaming Masters championship.

If you've been following the South African CS: GO scene, you would probably think Goliath Gaming would have faced off against ATK Arena in the finals, right?  

Well, DNMK Esports proved themselves in the final matches of the VS Gaming Masters championship, taking down Goliath Gaming in the lower bracket final this past Sunday, in a convincing fashion to say the least. After Goliath Gaming won the first map (Inferno), DNMK Esports came back with a vengeance on Vertigo for a 16-12 win, and followed up with an astonishing performance on Dust II, where DNMK managed to beat Goliath 16-5, knocking them out of the tournament.

In the grand finals, ATK Arena proved once again how they are the best CS: GO team in South Africa, beating DNMK Esports 3-0. While DNMK Esports did look strong, and the first two maps were highly contested, ATK Arena was simply way too strong on the day. Therefore, ATK Arena's CS: GO squad is the VS Gaming Masters champions for 2020.
