Infused have taken a 2-0 victory over VEXSTAR (16-6 de_nuke, 16-9 de_mirage) to win Multiplay's i53 event at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, UK and claim the £2,000 first place prize.

The 32-team group stage kicked off on Friday and saw most of the top seeds win their three BO1 group games with the only real upset coming from Group G where ALL4, a relatively unknown lineup, managed to topple Tom "⁠vertiGo⁠" Rockliffe's TLR and take the higher seed going into the playoffs.

Saturday morning brought the top two teams from each group into a double-elimination bracket which was played out completely except for the lower final, consolidation final, and the grand final which were left until Sunday.

Ben "⁠r0m⁠" Smith's VEXSTAR were the first team to book their place in Sunday's grand final after managing to overcome the top two seeds, fm-eSports (16-2 de_cache, 12-16 de_inferno, 16-12 de_nuke) and Infused (16-11 de_cache, 14-16 de_mirage, 16-10 de_nuke), much to the surprise of most viewers.

The following morning saw Sam "⁠RattlesnK⁠" Gawn's fm-eSports take down TLR in the lower final (16-9 de-cache, 16-4 de_dust2) but they weren't to make the final this time around as Infused took them down in the following consolidation final (12-16 de_mirage, 16-9 de_cache, 16-10 de_season).

James "⁠redSNK⁠" Littlewood's Infused kept up their good form, carrying it through to the grand final where they managed to take down VEXSTAR with ease (16-6 de-nuke, 16-9 de_mirage), claiming the i53 title and the £2,000 cheque to go with it.
