The German giants from mousesports started well against You Don't Know Me, but had to pull off a heavy comeback to advance to the Grand Final at ESL Pro Series XIV Germany.

Starting good and rock solid on inferno, mousesports simply crushed You Don't Know Me and everything now seemed to go only one direction, a 2-0 win for mousesports.

This however was not the case, when moving onto tuscan, You Don't Know Me found the missing element that they lacked on the first map. A strong CT side secured You Don't Know Me 9 rounds against 6 to mousesports. What seems to be the slighter stronger T side turned the second map into a win for You Don't Know Me, winning 16-12, forcing the third and all deciding map.

Nuke should be the playground to determine who would advance and who would have to play for bronze. The map is known to be one of mousesports' favorites, but when starting as CT, things did not look too good for mousesports. They did however take a small lead with 8-7 at half-time, far from impressing. Losing the pistol round as T, You Don't Know Me put a lot of pressure on mousesports. Armed with deagles, mousesports actually managed to win the third round, once again giving hope to the team. The deagles seem to ignite them, as the train ran across You Don't Know Me, taking 8 rounds to 3, winning 16-10 on nuke and 2-1 overall.
