Sentinels win Stage 2 Masters Reykjavík – How did they do it?
Due to winning the NA Challengers Finals, Sentinels were already seeded into the first round of the upper bracket. Here they took on the European Fnatic roster, and got a clean 2-0 to advance to the second round. In the second round they played against the Brazilian Team Vikings, which gave them almost no challenge, as Sentinels got a back to back 2-0 win. This victory sealed them a spot in the upper bracket finals, and here they played against the Korean NUTURN Gaming. Unfortunately the Koreans did not bring their A-game during this series, as the North American squad won both maps (Bind 13-5, Haven 13-4).
Grand Finals
Meanwhile, Fnatic were slowly climbing through the lower bracket, beating teams like X10 Esports, Version1, and their European brothers of Team Liquid. Then in the Lower Bracket Finals, they got the win against NUTURN to finalize their spot in the Grand Finals against Sentinels. This was the most anticipated series of the entire event, and it surely delivered. Every single match was a constant battle from both sides, and in each map we had both teams reaching double digits. Unfortunately for Fnatic, they weren’t able to seal the deal on any of the three maps, and Sentinels took the win. This is how it ended:
