Fnatic finishes off EG and makes it to the playoffs (Updated)
The Swedish/English roster made a short process against Evil Geniuses.
Fnatic has been one of the positive surprises at this year's ESL Pro League. The new roster once again showed positive signs of their progress in the last-round matchup against Evil Geniuses.
The North Americans were already out of the tournament before tonight's match, while Fnatic needed a victory along with a NAVI victory in their match against FaZe to advance at ESL Pro League.
On Nuke everything looked according to the plan with a convincing 16-11 win. Englishman William 'mezii' Merriman topped the scoreboard with an impressive 26-11 K-D, which underlined the fact, that both he and Alex 'ALEX' McMeekin has found their place at Fnatic with ease.
Inferno did not shake the picture. It was still Fnatic in full control against a half-dead EG roster, that in brief moments showed the undeniable talent, that their roster possesses. EG managed to make their last map of ESL Pro League competitive, but in the end, it was not enough. Evil Geniuses will leave ESL Pro League without a victory.
Fnatic could sit back and enjoy the view, as NAVI took care of FaZe in their match. A result that puts Fnatic through to the next round.
