neXtPlease! Gaming came out on top of the third season of the Romanian eSports Championship following a 2-1 victory over The Elder Gods in the final.

Held at Turbohalle, the same location as DreamHack Bucharest, the ReC 3 finals featured the top four sides from the 40 who had taken part in the online season.

Romanian teams have only recently switched to CS:GO, and with this being the first LAN tournament in this game in the country, there was a lot of anticipation as the fans were curious about which side can be called the strongest.

The Elder Gods, boasting a lineup with former 1.6 players like Cosmin "WHitE" Cetanas and Daniel "k1d0r" Paka, progressed to the final after moving past I Got Game, while neXtPlease!, who feature just two players from the team who attended Copenhagen Games, saw INtenSe off.
