Fnatic was blown out of the server yesterday against Heroic. But today it was William 'mezii' Merriman and his men dealing out punches. The receiver was ENCE, who had an overall off-day on Nuke. Fnatic won the first half 9-6 before breaking ENCE in the second half leaving only one round win to Snappi’s troops. ENCE looked uncomfortable and without a great gameplan against Fnatic, who won 16-7 to go 2-1 up at the Legends Stage.

ENCE now falls down to the dangerous 1-2 bracket, where teams such as NAVI, Vitality, and potentially FaZe are waiting!
