Best photos from ESL One Cologne

ESL One Cologne brought a lot of breathtaking moments, which we tried to capture on camera throughout all four days - take a look at some of the best shots we've captured during the event.

Dust - well, in this case confetti - barely settled in Cologne after fnatic came out victorious, and records have been broken, both in viewership and money given out to teams.

We have taken thousands of photos during the four-day major, a little over 1,300 of which made it to the galleries. ESL One Cologne brought countless unique moments for both viewers and players, the best of which we tried to capture in some of the best photos chosen below:
