Astana Dragons have won TECHLABS Cup 2013 Finals in Moscow 2-1 over Universal Soldiers (11-16 de_cache, 16-5 de_inferno, 16-3 de_nuke) to win $10,000.
Astana Dragons, the favorites to win their first tournament after adding Emil "kucher" Akhundov just days ago, had a rough start in Moscow as they fell short against Natus Vincere 1-2 in their opening match.
Universal Soldiers easily defeated 3DMAX 2-0 in the other upper bracket semi-final, and went onto take down the squad of Sergey "starix" Ischuk 2-0 as well to clinch a grand final spot.

Astana Dragons then knocked 3DMAX out in the lower bracket, and followed it up with a win over Natus Vincere in a rematch in the consolidation finals to secure a spot in the grand final.
As TECHLABS gave no advantage to the winners of upper bracket, a simple 2-1 win in the grand final was enough for Akhundov & co to top Universal Soldiers and win TECHLABS Cup 2013 Finals. TECHLABS Cup 2013 Grand FinalBest of 3 UniversalSoldiers
