Fnatic mounts unreal comeback:

Overtime hell for eSTRO



Despite almost pushing Fnatic completely off the cliff eSTRO could not afford to fall asleep. The job was not done and when they wasted a golden opportunity to win it, with the Swedes equipped with deagles only, eSTRO find themselves second guessing everything they did in regulation time as they stare down the barrel of the gun that is overtime. Fnatic, on the other hand, are elated to be given a second chance.

This has all the traditional markings of disaster for the lesser experienced eSTRO while the Swedes are in a perfect position to ride their newly discovered momentum into a final match with Meet Your Makers.

"f0rest" lags out in the 14th round

eSTRO - Fnatic controversy



With a score of 10 to 3 for the Koreans, Swedish star player Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg lags out in the beginning of the 14th round of the half. The tense semi final is paused as Fnatic manager Sam Matthews goes off to discuss the situation with the referees.

Apparantly Matthews fail to impress the staff with his views and the ruling is for the match to continue. This is controversial considering Lindberg's money situation at a vital point in the match which will ultimately decide the last finalist.

eSTRO are unfazed and continue their stellar CT play to close out the half. With the final half of the match live the Koreans are up by 13 rounds to 6. Fnatic has to pull out all the stops to be awarded another shot at a title they crave.
