fnatic have just beat WICKED eSports on 2 maps after taking WICKED on two overtimes on the second map. Neither wanting to drop the bone.fnatic have just earned themselves a spot to the Grand Final of the Moscow KODE5 Global Finals
fnatic as expected, took their first map, de_inferno, with some ease with yet again a beautiful play by Christopher 'GeT_RiGhT' Alesund. Taking first half 10-5, it was looking promising for fnatic from the start. On the second half they were mercyless and WICKED eSports just weren't able to pull off anything, giving the full 6 rounds away to fnatic from the start.
Onto the second map which proved to be a little more tense for both sides. fnatic were able to pull of 7 rounds as Terrorists on de_train but weren't able to keep their defensive side on Counter-Terrorist side giving away, on their part, also 7 rounds with an overal score of 15-15.
Onto the first overtime, fnatic took the first 3 rounds which was around the time that everyone thought fnatic had won. However, WICKED eSports weren't letting go of the ball and were hanging on tight, it was their turn to strike, perhaps a little too late, taking also 3 rounds and going on to the second overtime.
On the second overtime, fnatic took one round as Terrorist which proved to be enough. They kept being defensive on CT side, just like the first half of the first overtime, which proved to work as a dime as they yet again managed to take the full 3 rounds and win the game overall 22-20 and a 2 map win.
fnatic will be facing SK Gaming or mTw in the Grand Final this afternoon around 3.P.M
