The Flying Dutchman leads his team to victory at DH Open January
FunPlus Phoneix's loanee Chris "chrisJ" de Jong dismantled EG on Nuke, to set his new team on for the win.
The favourites from Evil Geniuses have been eliminated from DreamHack Open January after a total collapse against the newly established FunPlus Phoenix. The strong American team couldn’t handle the two veterans in Jesse “zehN” Linjala and Chris “chrisJ” de Jong, who led FPX towards two strong and completely one-sided victories on Nuke and Inferno.
FunPlus Phoenix advance through to the semi-finals where they will meet BIG, while EG once again concludes an event, on European soil, empty handed.
