Alright folks, today I wanted to dig into this esports tournament thing – the ECS T10 Malmo that happened back in 2021. Kept hearing mentions of it, but honestly, couldn’t easily find any decent results or highlight clips just popping up first thing in a search. Figured I’d hunt them down myself and document the whole messy process.
Started simple. Fired up my browser and typed in “ecs t10 malmo 2021 results“. Got loads of stuff… mostly old news snippets about teams joining or dates being announced. Tons of sites just rehashing the same basic info. Found a few lists claiming “here are the top teams” but clicking through, half the links were dead ends or generic placeholders. Super frustrating. Kept seeing names like “BIG” and “FURIA” popping up though, figured they must have done okay.
Pivoted. Decided to forget the fancy esports news sites for a minute. Headed straight to the big leagues: . If anyone keeps solid archives, it’s them. Started digging through their tournament section, filtering for 2021 and anything mentioning ECS or Malmo. Took a few tries with different keywords. Finally bingo! Landed on their dedicated page for the ESL Pro European Championship Season 10 Finals – that was the full name, held in Malmo, December 2021.
Okay, now we’re cooking! Scrolled down past the team photos and hype text… straight for the Final Standings. HLTV lays it out clear as day:
- 1st Place: BIG – €25,000
- 2nd Place: FURIA – €10,000
- 3rd-4th Place: Astralis, fnatic (€3,000 each)
- 5th-8th Place: MOUZ, Complexity, Godsent, Fiend (€1,000 each)
There you have it! Top teams confirmed. BIG took the whole thing, with FURIA right behind them.
But I wanted the action! The highlights! HLTV had match pages, but finding the juicy clips was still a bit of a chore. Clicked through to the Grand Final match page between BIG and FURIA. Scanned down past the detailed scoreboard and stats (kinda cool for nerds like me, but not highlights). Found the “VODs and Highlights” section. Jackpot! They had links to the full stream VODs (like hours long) and, crucially, links to highlight videos hosted on ESL’s own YouTube channel.
Copied the names of those highlight videos (“BIG vs FURIA – Grand Final Highlights – ESL Pro European Championship Season 10 Finals”) and jumped over to YouTube. Pasted it in the search. Boom! Official ESL CS:GO channel uploads popped right up. Watched a couple – crisp editing, big plays from syrsoN on BIG and yuurih on FURIA, all the clutch moments that decided that final. Exactly the stuff I was looking for.
So yeah, the summary after digging:
- Top Team: BIG (Champions)
- Runner-Up: FURIA
- Best Highlights: Check ESL CS:GO YouTube channel, search for “ECS T10 Malmo Grand Final” or “BIG vs FURIA Malmö”.
Took way longer than it should have to find stuff that’s just kinda buried under newer events or spread across different sites, but mission accomplished!
