Monte won the CCT Season 3 Global Finals in Vila Nova de Gaia by taking the long way to the trophy. It lost to HEROIC 2–1 on April 25, then on April 26 beat Ninjas in Pyjamas 2–1, for the second time at the event, and HEROIC 3–1 in the final, on Nuke, Dust II, Inferno and Ancient.

Monte was the highest-ranked club of the field in our table, 20th, and its 10 maps won to 5 here are well above its 51.1% over the season. The $30,000 is only its third-largest payout of the season, behind the BLAST Bounty Winter 2026 closed qualifier and PGL Astana 2026.

More than half the best-of-threes, six of 11, went to a third map, and Dust II and Nuke were played seven times each in 32 maps.
