(ESEAnews) - The ESEA-Invite TF2 S6 Grand Finals between Blight-fanom and Blight.own are over, and has been crowned the new ESEA-Invite TF2 Champions. Originally planned to be a best-of-5, both teams agreed to play a straight-up best-of-3 due to fanom having some early flights to catch if fanom agreed to throw out koth_viaduct from the Finals. As a result, the match opened up on cp_granary with Blight.own taking the first map by a 5-0 score, followed by a tight cp_coldfront battle also going Blight.own's way by a 5-3 score.

The gravitas of this win by Blight.own truly can not be understated - they were solely responsible for eliminating all three teams in these LAN Finals, doing so with their backs to the wall the whole event, and along the way knocked out one of the best teams TF2 has ever had in coL. Such a masterful turn around from what was an otherwise bleak outlook last night is nothing short of miraculous, and the 6 guys holding the cash are to be heartily congratulated for their triumph.
Rather than bore you all with some post-game analysis from a scattered brain that can't quite compute what just happened, I'll save the more in-depth look at what happened in this match for Demo Diaries and Play-by-Plays in the near future, while the SpecTV demos themselves will be uploaded en masse by the guys on site in Dallas as soon as possible. For more post-LAN coverage, be sure to check out the downloads section for Video interviews of all the teams competing in Texas, which will also go up as soon as humanly possible.
Once again, congratulations to our new ESEA-Invite Champions, and best of luck defending their title in future events!
