OpTic to ELEAGUE playoffs over fnatic

OpTic Gaming are through to the ELEAGUE Season 2 playoffs after defeating fnatic 2-0 in the group's decider match (16-5 on Cobblestone and 16-11 on Dust2).

The series began on Cobblestone, where fnatic won the pistol round as Terrorist and the subsequent anti-ecos to start off the game with a 3-0 lead. But once we reached the gun rounds the impetus of the changed completely, with OpTic taking a commanding 11-4 half-time lead as the Swedes were unable to find a route through their opponents' stern defense.

With Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik hitting all his shots, OpTic won the first three rounds on the offensive side to increase their lead even further. fnatic would still be able to get a round under their belt, but OpTic hit back right and quickly sealed a convincing 16-5 win.


stanislaw powered OpTic to a convincing win on two maps 

Next up was Dust2, which began with fnatic winning the pistol round as Terrorist. The Swedes were unable to capitalize on that, however, as they were caught off-guard by OpTic's eco, with Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz getting three CZ kills to his name. 

After getting their economy stabilized, fnatic won two in a row to restore parity at 3-3, but then OpTic's defense flourished. The North Americans won eight rounds in a row before fnatic finally bagged the final round of the half.

Down 4-11, fnatic saw their situation get even worse as they lost the pistol round as CT. That was when Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson took matters into his own hands and picked up four kills to give his team a fighting chance.

Little by little, fnatic closed the gap on their opponents, and they eventually reduced the deficit to 11-13. That was when a 1v2 clutch by Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas, coupled with three key frags from stanislaw in long, put OpTic on match point. With no room for error, fnatic went for an aggressive play, and even though they picked an early kill, they could not stop the North Americans from entering the B site and taking the round.

it is confirmed no other team in the top 15 have a better firepower than optic. seriously these guys are all insane individually. as long as they dont tilt-coughNAFcough- they can destroy everybody. they are like the envy of 2015. insane skill on the team.especially NAF & RUSH. they are unstoppable especially when they're on a roll and smirking. tilting is still an issue tho as it was seen on dust2 and towards the end of cobble vs envy and then again on d2 vs fnatic. well destroyed. i humbly believe they will destroy dignitas as well since MSL(LOL) is still an active player. seeing the pissed faces of fnatic and envy players was a huge hard on for me. i kept remembering the old fnatic line up with their smirks during matches. you reap what you sow.

jumpy was an active player til 3 months ago. he is not a bad player by all means. 1 player doesnt change your play that much. also destroyed envy too. and i didnt say they e the best. i said they have the best firepower, which is not a troll.

1 player doesnt change your play that much. Why yes, yes it does? i said they have the best firepower, which is not a troll. It doesn't have to be a troll, it's just simply untrue. Easy to see with stats.

How absolutely pathetic that you even remember speaking to me. Also, even if Optic should win - they won't become the "world's best team".. Astralis is far from top1.

Expected. Just too many support players for fnatic. KRiMZ - OK, but disco doplan is mediocre in terms of fragging power, why did they even pick him? They could've easily stuck with wenton with the same result. Just sad.

Doplan was star player, with really good fragging power. (buuuuut he was inconsistent) so they took the gamble (remember what happened to magiskboy). Wenton was real shit lets be honest. Plus they didnt have their best player they had A MANAAAAGER. So keep that in mind. I think this fnatic can be top5 real easy. They only need few months

He was overrated. Recently he was like 4th best play in Epsilon, since Freddieb, rez and sometimes even draken were putting better numbers than him.
