The FLASHPOINT League's inaugural season came to a close late last week. The winner of the final match was the Danish team MAD Lions, who beat Brazil's MIBR 2-1. The MAD Lions first lost to their opponents on the Mirage map, but then rebounded on Inferno and Train. The prize money the MAD Lions received was the largest win in the team's history – it totaled $500,000. MIBR were in second place and received 250k. The third and fourth places went to HAVU and Cloud9 respectively.
The final match attracted over 282,000 spectators, making it the most popular event of the tournament. The second most popular was another confrontation between MAD Lions and MIBR, which took place during the qualifiers. This match was watched by more than 170 thousand viewers.
Based on the results of their performance on FLASHPOINT, both teams increased their positions in the HLTV rating. The MAD Lions are now back in eleventh place, which they lost just over a month ago, while the Brazilians have made it to fifteenth place.
The FLASHPOINT tournament was held online from March 13 to April 19 and attracted a large number of viewers. Teams from Denmark, Brazil, Finland, USA and Europe participated.
