Despite losing to Cloud9, SK Gaming's Gabriel "Fallen" Toledo was awarded MVP of the finals.
"I don't think I was MVP of these finals, but guys, thank you anyways," he said after receiving the award.
In the nine-week online season of Pro League, Cloud9 finished in first place in the North American region, then decimated OpTic Gaming and edged out Mousesports in the playoffs to head into the finals.
SK Gaming finished the online season in third place behind Immortals in North America. SK Gaming played with a stand-in for Fer in the first few weeks of the season. With Fer, SK automatically qualified for the semifinals and beat Ninjas in Pyjamas in a close 2-1 series to make it to the finals.
SK won the Pro League Season 3 championship and are the reigning Major champions in CS:GO, but the squad has not returned to full form since changing organizations from Luminosity to SK Gaming.
Cloud9 hasn't seen much success in the international circuit in recent years until Sunday night. The team signed Stewie2K in January this year and Autimatic in August, rounding out the roster and making them tough contenders in tournaments.
