LDLC have dominated Titan 2-0 (16-4 de_season, 16-6 de_cache) to advance to the grand final of SLTV StarSeries XI Finals in Kiev. LDLC started their upper bracket final versus Titan with a pistol round win, thanks to three kills by Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt, who added four more kills on the second round. Titan won round four with an A site hit, but were then stopped and forced to save. At 1-5 NBK- bested Dan "apEX" Madesclaire in a one-on-one, forcing another economical breakdown. Two pairs of kills by Richard "shox" Papillon and Fabien "kioShiMa" Fiey made it 8-1, and Vincent "Happy" Schopenhauer cleaned up a partial buy for a 9-1 lead. Titan then got a round by attacking the B bombsite, but it was once again followed by LDLC breaking their money and forcing Kévin "Ex6TenZ" Droolans's team on a save. Up 11-2, LDLC split the final two rounds of the half. They also won the second half pistol round, and held a commanding 14-3 lead as Titan went for a third round buy. LDLC won the round with ease, but Titan extended the game by winning a one-on-one defusing without kits inside a smoke, before ultimately losing de_season with a 4-16 score. Titan won their terrorist pistol round on de_cache, and Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian's quad UMP kill won round two. However, they couldn't win round three, as shox scored four Scout kills. LDLC gained a 3-2 lead as Titan saved twice, after which Kenny "kennyS" Schrub won a one-on-three in the A site. LDLC then again broke Titan's money, and forced them to save. Titan went for a second save as well, but managed to win it. After taking out LDLC's B defense they forced their opponents to save, getting their first and only lead of de_cache. NBK-'s side quickly tied the game at 6-6, and then won the final three rounds of the half, thanks to triple and quad kills by kioShiMa, and two AWP kills by shox. NBK-'s two entry kills won LDLC the second half pistol round, and two Titan save rounds later Happy's team was up 12-6. A triple by NBK- in B then effectively made it 14-6. LDLC took out Titan in A once again to gain map point, and then closed out the series by winning one more round against a weak Titan-buy, for a 16-6 overall win on the map.
