ImageFnatic take yet another gold medal in 2009 with their 2-0 victory against WeMadeFox having defeated mTw in the previous round.







The first game between the Swedes and the Koreans was tight but the second game ended 16-2 for Fnatic, further cementing their dominance in international Counter-Strike.

Carn said in the press conference after that "we won the group, that's what it is all about right?", when asked the reason behind their sudden strong performance on the final day after underperforming on Friday and Saturday according to the reporter. "We are really strong in the playoffs" said Patrik 'cArn' Sattermon. This makes fnatic remain the reigning champions of eStars, having won 2007, 2008 and 2009.

In terms of the Continental Cup Carn said it was a good idea but preferred to play for his own team. "Its cool to team up with SK and mTw to do some damage to the Asian teams," said cArn, "It is something that is needed to change the format, every other tournament is running the same setup. eSports is in need of something like this, its a bit like Ryder Cup in Golf."

1st - fnatic $12,000
2nd - WeMade FOX $3,200
3rd - mTw $1,600
4th - SK Gaming $800

cArn: It was kind of Glow's tournament
