Fnatic - A profesional gaming team

fnaticMSI.CoD4 are well into their bracket play at i37 in Stoneleigh park, England. Having strolled through the group stages and first upper bracket match, the teams first proper test came against dfiance a team from the UK. "Read more" for the full match report.

The game didnt start off well for our Swedes and Stevy, starting off on the slightly weaker attacking side on Citystreets, the side lost both of the first rounds, giving dfiance a 2-0 lead. However, in the third round, a piece of individual brilliance from rivve turned the match on its head. Being left as the only man alive vs 5 dfiance players, rivve worked his way across the map picking off a player on each bomb site and three in transit. The clutch left fnatic properly cheering each other on for the first time this tournament.

From there on in, fnatic had most of the game under their control, but it wasnt easy. Dfiance constantly got the early grenade picks, leaving fnatic having to recover from 4vs5 and 3vs5 situations. Linqan in particular was on fire, picking up three 'four-mans' over the course of the game. Although the score was a seemingly close 7-5 in favour of our Swede's at half time, the second half and defensive side was theirs, not allowing dfiance a single round until they already had the game in the bag. Final score: 13-6.
