fnatic win two

fnatic have made their way to the Grand Final at the IEM5 Global Challenge Shanghai, after finishing a two-day match against Natus Vincere.

Yesterday the match got postponed when reaching the third map. Until then we had experienced an absolutely epic match, seeing Na´Vi managing a 16-14 win on de_train and fnatic winning 21-18 de_dust2. Following a night of great sleep for the teams, the third map de_inferno got kicked off this morning.

Starting on the CT side, Na´Vi won the pistol-round and started out strong against the Swedes, who seemed to struggle a bit in the beginning. fnatic did however fight their way back to claim a 9-6 lead at half-time. Now playing the CT side, fnatic won the pistol-round and the following eco rounds by Na´Vi. The Swedes managed to reach 15-10 without too much of a hassle, but executing five match points became troublesome for them, as Na´Vi stepped up their game. In the very last round of the ordinary playing time, fnatic sealed the deal at 16-14 to move in to the Grand Final.
