fnatic takes home bronze

The two losers of the semi-finals meet in a match to decide who could take the third place and the $14.000 coming with it.

The 3rd place decider match should determine who could take bronze and $14.000. Sweden and Germany should play for the bronze at ESWC 2008 in San Jose. A match that still holds some pride, and a stack of cash, both teams seemed unmotivated. After winning the first map in overtime fnatic seemed to take a breather on nuke. A small break before inferno seemed to help though, and fnatic was never really in trouble securing the 3rd map and the 3rd place at ESWC.

Broken tag



This leaves just one match at this years ESWC, the grand final, this year featuring MYM and e-STRO. Can MYM defend their championship from 2007, or will e-STRO take the gold to Asia for the first time.

3rd place is no shame, well played fnatic. You managed to send one of the strongest teams of this competition home. And earn abit of cash. Mousesports were really great this event, really annoyed me how well they played against SK..:(
