This past weekend we saw newly refurbished team Fnatic win the VCT EU Stage 2 Challengers 2 event. Here is how it all went down:
Fnatic win VCT EU Stage 2 Challengers 2 – How did they do it?
Open Qualifiers
Fnatic kicked off the event with a clean ride through the open qualifiers. Their first opponent was Ovation Esports, which they beat 2-0 to get into the round of 16. Then came Portuguese team sAw, which was also beaten 2-0. Fnatic then played Stage 1 Masters champions Acend, and unfortunately lost the series 2-1, to finish in 5th-8th place. Despite this result, they were still invited to play in the main event.
Main event playoffs
In the Quarterfinals they met G2 Esports, another strong team from Europe. G2 were the definite favourites, but the new Fnatic lineup pulled off an excellent upset, winning Bind (13-5) and Ascent (13-11). This win got Fnatic into the Semifinals versus Team Vitality, which had just beaten Team Acend. Again, Fnatic had a very challenging series, but in the end they were better, and got the 2-0 victory.
Grand Finals
This win got the team into the Grand Finals versus the very talented Team Liquid. This series was super fun to watch with both teams giving their all, but eventually, it was the Fnatic roster that won it all. Here are the last moments of the Grand Finals:
