fnatic thrash Cloud9 to win ClutchCon

2-2-2015 13:23

fnatic won ClutchCon 2015 following a 2-0 victory over Cloud9 (16-7 on de_mirage and 16-1 on de_nuke).

A total of 16 teams gathered in Denver last weekend for the CS:GO tournament at ClutchCon, a three-day multi-game computer and console LAN event held by Clutch Gaming Arena, an eSports company based in Colorado.

Network problems during the first day caused huge delays and pushed the matches back by several hours, forcing the admins to completely redo the schedule and leaving players and fans alike pulling their hair out.

The biggest disappointment of the tournament was certainly CLG, who crashed out of the tournament in the quarter-finals after suffering a 1-2 defeat against eLevate, who would go on to lose to Cloud9 0-2 in the last-four stage.

fnatic win first LAN title of 2015

In the other half of the bracket, fnatic came from behind to beat KaBuM 2-1 after being defeated on de_mirage on the first map of the series. In the semi-finals, the Swedish giants breezed past Team Liquid 2-0 while conceding just four rounds in total.

In the grand final, Cloud9 still put up a fight on de_mirage as fnatic ran out 16-7 winners, but de_nuke was a complete one-way street, with the Swedish giants picking up a 16-1 victory.

yup, trashed =)

2015-02-02 13:30

Trash and thrash are two different words, you know.

2015-02-02 13:57

really? brb google. you are right! I'm so embarassed with my vocabulary and grammar skills. :( Thrash -to hit (someone or something) very hard with a stick, whip, etc. -to defeat (someone or something) very easily or completely -to move about violently Trash -discarded matter; refuse. synonyms:garbage, refuse, waste, litter, junk, debris, detritus, rubbish "the subway entrance was blocked with trash"

2015-02-02 14:14

thrash = to beat trash = junk

2015-02-02 14:13

yeah, thanks!

Thrash, not trash. Can you people even read?

2015-02-02 13:49

jee

swag

ez money

I like how late this was reported because there were more important things to announce than fnatic winning some ez money at some NA lan.

Haha :P In general there was no info about this LAN. The announced it aswell as the groups, but no viewer's guide or anything like that.

2015-02-02 13:29

The viewer's guide would have been a waste of time because all of the scheduled times would have been wrong.

2015-02-02 17:43

Well yea, but that is some 20/20 hindsight.

2015-02-02 17:45

No, it's because HLTV.org is in Europe and the grand final was played at like 5am GMT, so obviously they are going to report it the day after.

2015-02-02 13:47

if it can be called "LAN"

2015-02-03 00:04

stats from tournament? i rly would like to see how flusha did play this tournament

He played pretty well. Probably #2 best stats in fnatic would be my guess. olofm with best stats. But it is possible JW had better stats than flusha. Pronax last and Krimz 2nd to last.

cevo.com/event/clutchcon/bracket/qzt2sel..

2015-02-02 13:31

thanks both of you

2015-02-02 13:37

cevo.com/event/clutchcon/?_sec=1&_sem=VG.. Flusha actually got 2nd best player of the tournament and JW first. So scratch what I said about olofm :p

Flusha and olofm both have the best KDR with 1.72 for them so you're not that wrong, but JW was better during big matches I guess and he had higher "efficiency" from what I saw from CEVO boards (mainly because he gets alot of entries mostly while olof mostly bashed ecoes ^^).

2015-02-02 14:30

"Efficacy"

2015-02-02 16:40

ITT: People think that "thrash" is the same thing as "trash".

NA current top team is trash, hltv confirmed!

Fast report

fnatic trash, cloud9 to win clutchcon

2015-02-02 13:32

People not knowing the difference between trash and thrash.

best event ever

2015-02-02 13:34

The only thing i remember is that team-Liquid newbies started t-bagging torqued players in the cache map. Team-Liquid that team what could only get 1 CT round on inferno against fnatic ahahah. How are these noobs even sponsored by an team? is the NA scene so small? They had max struggle with an pugteam which dindt even pracc for 1 day long including summit1g. adreN should keep it at streaming only.

2015-02-02 13:35

May be a pugteam, but it's near Cloud9 level. m0E = top 2 NA awp in Source skadoodle = top 1 NA awp desi = top 10 NA on paper better than liquid

2015-02-02 21:31

This was an easy LAN for fnatic. I betted on them every game and made like 100$+ of skins in 2 days. Easy. NA didnt stand a chance.

aha I see. I never betteed on them and still made 1200$.

2015-02-02 13:51

Thats nice. My biggest victory was CLG bet over LDLC and Kabum over C9. I got like 10 maximum bets of 240$ out of it.

2015-02-02 14:05

LOL sure you did

2015-02-02 14:21

I dont care if you believe me. You can just dream about this skins.

Once again n0things team gets raped on nuke in a final

Honey, can you take out the trash? Thank you.

2015-02-02 13:48

I hate the fact that a good sponsor like Cloud9 is being wasted on a team that knows they have issues and know they can't succeed with their current line-up and refuse to do anything about it. RIP NA CS.

Worst event in history or one of the worst. And we all knew from the start that it was gonna be a walk in the park for fnatic. NA scene without it's scummy players are one big fat zero.

Its Miraa again. You seriously need to learn the basics of journalism. Reading your take on a story makes me feel that you're a bit..sorry to say, uneducated. Hit up google, there are tons of things u can learn online.

2015-02-02 14:44

You have to capitalise the "I" > "I have". And I've would have the apostrophe. And weren't too. Hue. I'm just bored at work, sorry :(

2015-02-02 14:02

Please, educate us.

Yea man oh my god... he seriously need to study journalism (again). How the fuck did he work for Goal? How did he work for a good newspaper in Portugal (can't remember the name) Please, it's your time to shine, so educate him and us. Thanks <3

It's a net positive but that's not going to solve what is wrong with C9. They aren't going to be competitive either way.

now coem back to eu and sleep!

Whoever thought c9 or any other American team would be able to even put up a fight vs fnatic must be gold novas or below.

Nice tournament non the less... gz kabum nice result

2015-02-02 16:54

I expected more from CLG. Although eLevate surprised me alot, didn't expected them to get into top4 (lost all in on CLG)

Gj Fnatic Would be nice if HLTV can add Clutchon stats into her database. Most American tournaments/leagues don't get added, while most of the European do, leading to lots of American players not yet included in the stats section.

2015-02-02 18:00

hltv writers you need to use simpler language.. it's like writing for country folks

2015-02-02 19:05

HLTV.org shame on you! Pretty sure the picture isn't from ClutchCon 2015.

2015-02-02 20:38

nice kabum ! :D

2015-02-02 21:01

congratz fnatic!

2015-02-02 21:02

Seriously inviting Fnatic isn't a really good idea. Just look at the scores of the semi-final and the grand final, it just makes the NA scene look ridiculous to me.

2015-02-02 23:50

I love the word "thrash" haha

2015-02-03 03:23

WORST GRAND FINAL EVER !

2015-02-03 05:50

NA teams come to europe and get rekted.They do lans in NA with 4 eu teams and get rekt,they do lans in NA with 1 eu team and get rekt. Please dont invite EU teams to NA lan events...that will not feed the NA > EU ilusion anymore :(
