Also, in a special moment dedicated to the final, Cătălin Moroșanu faced ImoGen at Mortal Kombat, the popular fighting game from NetherRealm Studios. It was a very exciting battle, an opportunity for the audience to see how an established athlete handles himself when put in the position of a gamer. These moments set the scene for the grand finale and were a fitting “appetizer” for what was to follow.

In the Superbet Open grand finale, Nexus Gaming managed to defeat OneTap Gaming 3-2, in a best-of-five where Nexus started 1-0 (after winning the playoff stage with double elimination). Although Nexus took an early lead, winning the first map, OneTap showed tremendous team spirit.

In the end, Nexus Gaming came out on top, winning the last map of the best-of-five final and bringing the score to 3-2. The atmosphere was euphoric, and the suspense was at home.

For Nexus Gaming, this was their first win at the Superbet Open, a hard-earned victory over a team, OneTap Gaming, who managed to surprise and delight the underdog crowd with a tremendous comeback in the match.
