Fnatic 0:1 No Tidehunter

21:00- The game ended at about 23 minutes with a score of 23-11 in favor of NTH. A few early deaths from Trixi got us off to a rocky start and the Bear scaling superbly well with the kills got him enough items to dominate the map. We would be getting 50 points for the third cup and would likely be making it to group stages.
