By: Matt DiVito - Published March 05, 2009 at 7:27 PM EST - Writer Archive
In their second matches of the day, two strong teams from Group B face off in the EM Global Finals.
GotFrag.com - In their second matches of the day, fnatic if pitted against arguably, the top American team in x3o.

fnatic played well throughout the Continental Finals, but met resistance in a close match to ALTERNATE in the upper bracket semi-finals. Taking the first half, fnatic couldn't hold on to take it in the second half, losing the match 16-14.

They were later dropped by MYM in the lower finals and took a commendable fourth place finish.

x3o comes into the Global Finals as arguably the strongest American team, and looks to showcase on the world stage how far American Counter-Strike has come.

After opening their first match against fellow American team, EG.usa, x3o will get their first taste of a European opponent.

Even as fnatic is still getting accustomed to their new additions, x3o will be in for a difficult, but sure-to-be exciting match against one of the top teams in Europe.
