Titan crush fnatic for grand final

Starting off as Terrorists on de_inferno, Titan overcame fnatic's trap in the first pistol with Hovik "⁠KQLY⁠" Tovmassian's triple, and survived two anti-ecos by the skin of their teeth in two one-on-ones.

With Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub's firstfragging ability and Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans's triple in a fake on B, Titan were looking at a 5-0 lead. Fnatic then defended an early banana agression and capitalized on that, but kennyS's two rounds with an entry and a triple put his team at 7-1.

Only Markus "⁠pronax⁠" Wallsten's saved weapon was standing in the way of Titan, but it was enough to allow his team sustain a mid push. Another A attempt by Titan would be far from successful, hadn't it been for Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez and his one-on-four clutch.

Two rounds were exchanged then before pronax played a crucial part in an eco with a Five-SeveN, but his agressive call in the last round made the halftime difference 11-4.

Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell got three kills in the second pistol, helping fnatic get two more rounds more or less for free, but Titan's early agression - similar to the one of fnatic in the last round of the first half - stopped the streak in the first gunround.

JW continued to be the hero with a double entry in the following round and an insane ace right afterwards, getting three rounds in a row for it for an eventual 12-10 scoreline. Almost nothing more came of the Terrorists' attempts on the A bombsite, as Titan cleanly defended twice in a row, and only Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson's one-on-two was standing in Titan's victory on map one at 16-11.

After switching over to de_dust2, Titan continued the bandwagon and picked up a clean pistol with a couple of easy anti-ecos for 3-0. Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire's entry allowed kennyS complete the first gunround with a triple and with the same player's double alongside one from KQLY, Titan were quickly up 7-0.

Finally fnatic tried a quicker pace and rushed towards long, but KQLY helped his team retake an unfavorable situation with a double. Yet another triple, this time by him once again on short, put Titan on 9-0 before fnatic showed up on the scoreboard.

There JW shined with a lined-up double on long, which turned into an ace very soon afterwards, including a smoke kill at the end of the round. One more triple by KQLY on short stopped fnatic once again and once a split B in a three-on-three didn't work out against Ex6TenZ, fnatic were crushed.

Maniac was able to win a one-on-two in a quick manner after fnatic got to the B bombsite again and apEX's triple from the A bombsite put them on 14-1 before Titan picked up the second pistol as well and finished the game right after at 16-1, 2-0.
