Fluffy Gangsters have won the StarLadder CIS Minor to Cologne 2016, pocketing $30,000 and they also qualified for the ESL One Cologne 2016 Qualifier via the event's consolidation final.

The fourth and final day of the StarLadder Regional CIS Minor kicked off with a lower bracket final between ANOX and Worst Players, the former Method and Team YP squads respectively, as the two mainly Russian teams (with some Belorussians and Ukrainians in the mix) fought to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the ESL One Cologne 2016 Main Qualifier.

Ultimately, it was the Worst Players who won the best-of-three match 2-1 (16-9 on Mirage, 9-16 on Cache, and 16-11 on Cobblestone) in a series where Vadim "⁠DavCost⁠" Vasilyev put on a show and brought the ex-Team YP outfit into the consolidation final.

The consolidation final saw Worst Players face off against FLuffy Gangsters, a team who can easily be called the breakout surprise of the event as they had advanced to the upper bracket final before being defeated by Empire yesterday.

In this series, it was once again 27-year-old Anatoliy "⁠liTTle⁠" Yashin and 19-year-old Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov of Fluffy Gangsters (who have performed in tandem throughout the event with positive, matching ratings) who powered FLG to a 2-0 victory to advance to the grand final, winning Dust2 16-14 and Cobblestone 16-11.

Fluffy Gangsters then met Empire in the grand final (who had qualified for Cologne Qualifier yesterday after winning the upper bracket final) to fight over the difference between $15,000 and $30,000, for second and first place respectively.

In the grand final, Fluffy Gangsters yet again proved they were a force to be reckoned with as the team won 2-0 (16-11 on Cobblestone and 16-12 on Mirage) with more strong play from chopper (although his partner-in-crime liTTle was a little muted in the server).
