Giants have punched their ticket to DreamHack Open Valencia after topping the Iberian qualifier with a 2-1 victory over OFFSET.
Giants reached the grand final after defeating Oscar "mixwell" Cañellas's clutchmasterz in the last-four stage, while OFFSET beat bellow Portuguese side HD to seal passage to the final round of the qualifier.
The series began on Train, where Paulo "pr" Silva led OFFSET to a close 16-12 victory on Train with a 1.47 rating. But then the Alejandro "alex" Masanet show began.
