Fnatic
The final and most anticipated match of the day was between Fnatic and Cloud9 Blue. Both sides won back-to-back rounds but in the end, Fnatic took the win, 13-11. Cloud9 Blue fought until the end but it wasn’t enough. Nikita "Derke" Sirmitev’s Jett was phenomenal almost every round. He secured 30 kills with 336 ACS and 2.14 K/D. Fnatic made a solid start to the second game with Martin "MAGNUM" Penkov’s clutch. However, Mitch "mitch" Semago’s responses were on point to keep C9 in the game. Just like the first map, it was a close match but Fnatic took the lead in the second half of action. On the other hand, Cloud9 Blue replied with dominance in the later stages of the second map. The North American representatives won the second map to force another game in the series. The last map of the day was Fracture. This time, Fnatic managed to keep their early lead and spread it to the whole game. After reaching the 12-point mark, Fnatic looked like they were seeking focus. Erick "Xeppaa" Bach played his heart out in the last game of the day to force overtime and give hope to his team but to no avail as Fnatic won both overtime rounds to take the victory.
