3DMAX won LanTrek 2015 after securing a 2-0 victory over Menace in the grand final (16-2 on de_dust2 and 16-14 on de_mirage.

The Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre played host to yet another edition of the famous Finnish event LanTrek, with eight teams from across the country taking part in the CS:GO tournament, which had $6,000 up for grabs.

Fresh off recruiting Mikko "⁠xartE⁠" Välimaa from Menace after losing star player Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli to Ninjas in Pyjamas, 3DMAX beat manUplay and Paranoia in the group stage before cruising to a 2-0 victory over tryPANTS in the semi-final stage.

From the other half of the bracket came Menace, who attended the event with Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala as their fifth player. Niko "⁠naSu⁠" Kovanen's side also had a fairly easy route to the final as they beat Revoluted, tryPANTS and Paranoia without barely having to break a sweat.

The first map of the grand final, de_dust2, was completely one-sided as 3DMAX ran out 16-2 winners after picking up 14 rounds on the CT side. On de_mirage, Menace acquitted themselves really well but they still fell short in the final round against Joona "⁠natu⁠" Leppänen's men, who receive a considerable boost of motivation ahead of ESL One Katowice.
