PinCho ended up taking home the victory with an overall 8-2 score, after a close match across four game titles being Counter-Strike 1.6, Counter-Strike: Source, StarCraft: Broodwar and FIFA 09.
NPCL is actually a very interesting league and this season boasts a $40.000 prize pot which is rarely seen in Russia. 10 teams are chosen before the season starts and are provided a $4.000 budget to develop the organization and make it presentable before season kick-off. All matches are televised and played at the 4GAME Center in Moscow.
