Team Liquid only dropped one map all tournament coming against G2 Esports in the group stage. The best CS:GO team in the world only lost double digit rounds three times all tournament in maps it won.

Team Liquid secured the first championship in Season 3 of the Intel Grand Slam. New rules were implemented after Team Liquid won Season 2 adding a new condition to the bonus $1 million. Players must either win six non-Masters level tournaments or four including one Masters level event.

The Masters level events confirmed so far include IEM Katowice, ESL One Cologne 2020 and any future Valve Major hosted by either ESL or DreamHack.
