Frenetic taking the win at Grandmasters 2021 Season 1 EMEA – How did he do it?
Frenetic kicked off the event with the initial week play, from week 1 through 8. Fortunately he managed to advance with the bare minimum amount of 12 points. This put him ahead of players like Bunnyhoppor, Casie, as well as Felkeine.
Group Stage
After qualifying, he went onto Group A during the group stage, matching up against Jarla, Bozzzton, and Warma. He lost the initial match against Czech player Jarla, but won the matches against Warma and Bozzzton. This placed him 2nd in the group, just enough for him to qualify to the playoffs stage.
Playoffs
His first opponent was Romanian player Rdu, in which Frenetic won with a 3-1 scoreline. His next stage was his last, the Grand Finals against xBlyzes. The series was very close, concluding with a 3-2 scoreline. Here Frenetic won the first round with Hunter, xBlyzes replied with a Warrior and Demon Hunter win, but Ferenetic closed it out with Druid and Rogue.
