CJ Entus Blaze wins ZOTAC NLB Winter 2013-2014
After two months of competition, the NLB finals were played earlier today where a struggling CJ Blaze took 1st place after defeating NaJin Black Sword.

Both teams had an identical journey to the grand finals of the ZOTAC NLB, they crushed through their respective quarter/semi-final match ups with clean sweeps all around. When they both converged in the grand finals however, NJBS proved to be severely hampered by the fact that their regular starter mid Cho 'watch' Jae-geol was unable to attend the finals, and their choice of stand-in in Korean player 'Winged' simply didn't cut it against their opponents, who took the series with a score of 3-1.
This proves to be the third time in a row NaJin have been denied an NLB finals 1st place, which means that another season of planning and scheming awaits the team.
ZOTAC NLB Winter 2013/2014 results:
1st - CJ Enuts Blaze, $7,700 75 Circuit points
2nd - NaJin Black Sword, $2,825 60 Circuit points
3rd - Samsung Galaxy Blue, $1,885 30 Circuit points
