fnatic advance to PGL S1 finals

2-9-2015 20:20

fnatic have secured the second spot at the PGL Season 1 offline finals, defeating mousesports 3-1 (16-3 on de_cache, 9-16 on de_train, and 16-9 on de_dust2, with a one map advantage).

The second European group stage of the PGL Season 1 finals saw fnatic face off against mousesports, with the latter team having to fight through Titan and dignitas in fairly closer matches than fnatic, who easily made the grand final.

With mousesports coming from the lower bracket, fnatic possessed a one map advantage in the series, giving them a strong advantage towards qualification. Markus "⁠pronax⁠" Wallsten's men wasted no time in widening the gap by easily winning de_cache 16-3.

flusha has been on-point for fnatic in the past few weeks

mousesports, buoyed by newest active addition Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač, rallied on de_train with a 12-3 CT half and ultimately closed out the map in the Germanic team's favour with a 16-9 scoreline.

The final map, de_dust2, was even more closely contested, with mousesports leading at the half 8-7, however fnatic ran away with the game on their Terrorist side, thereby qualifying for the PGL Season 1 offline finals at the Grand Cinema & More, in Buacharest from October 2-4.

niko overrated.. only good versus low tier teams :P. I guess mousesports was a good move for him, they can probably win some local german tournaments.

So yeah, Niko is basically as good as Fnatic players. Edit: can you fix the first sentence pls? "saw fnatic face off against mousesports, with the latter team having to fight through Titan and mousesports" should be Dignitas

kinguin < mouz

Maybe. I wish he would've gone to kinguin when he was not on the mouz roster. Kinguin could've been insane with Niko instead of fox imo.

"fnatic face off against mousesports, with the latter team having to fight through Titan and mousesports "

nex have been really inconsistent lately

look at the stats. Ever since niko joined his ratings got more volatile. Nonetheless he did great with niko on his side if you watched the games. Sometimes I wish denis stpped up a bit more
