fnatic qualify for main round

The last match in the Swedish Extreme Masters III qualification took place tonight. The titans from fnatic had their last shot at qualifying for the Extreme Masters III main round, but Blank put a fight for the spot.

As SK Gaming beat fnatic in the upper-bracket final, fnatic was forced into lower-bracket to play the winner of Evilzone and Blank. As Blank beat GeT_RiGhT & co., they would have a shot at fnatic. Starting on inferno fnatic lacked behind very quickly and Blank took control and dominated inferno with 16:4. Fnatic then picked train, which should suit them better, Blank took some clutch rounds, but not enough to secure a map win, fnatic took home train 16:7. Last map to determine who would advance and who would try their luck in the international qualifier should be tuscan. Either fnatic practiced or Blank didn’t. Blank simply did not look like they knew where to go, but so did fnatic and could easily bring home a 16:2 win, 2:1 overall.
