fnatic qualify for IEM Katowice

5-2-2017 01:22

fnatic have secured their place at the $250,000 IEM Katowice after advancing to the closed qualifier's upper bracket final with wins over mousesports and G2.

Earlier today, the IEM Katowice closed qualifier began with 11 teams fighting in the best-of-three, double elimination bracket for three spots at the $250,000 event taking place from March 1-5.

So far, the bracket saw the new-old fnatic taking one of the three spots, defeating MOUZ 2-1 and the new G2 lineup 2-0.

The new-old fnatic qualified for Katowice with two wins in a row

Natus Vincere will lock horns with HEROIC for another spot tomorrow at 15:00 , while the last spot will be decided in the lower bracket.

G2, Tricked, Envy, and Epsilon are still in the run as well, while three teams have been eliminated. For the entire bracket, go over to the event page.

The IEM Katowice team list currently looks as follows:

OpTic	SK	Virtus.pro	North
Ninjas in Pyjamas	Cloud9	FaZe	Astralis
fnatic	EU closed qualifier	EU closed qualifier	NA closed qualifier

The North American closed qualifier also began today, where Liquid, Immortals, Misfits, and CLG lock horns for a single spot at IEM Katowice.

Fnatic went shit because they could not accept the fact that they started to take second places...fine.

2017-02-05 09:06

fnatic win?

2017-02-05 13:11

Lmao this poor silver really thinks SK>Fnatic :D listen. SK sucks. You are their fan cuz you are from fucking monkeyland. If you were swedish, you would say fnatic top1 (thats actually true). Deal with it, SK mayb top1 only in Monkeyland, worldwide, they should be happy to be at least top5

2017-02-05 08:31

Good logic. If fnatic were top1, they'd won the 3 last majors, no?

SK era over Fnatic era begins..again

2017-02-05 01:45

Begins era of bullshit? Its the same old fnatic with the same old problems...

2017-02-05 03:09

true. but good enough to rekt most of the other tier 1 teams at LAN

2017-02-05 03:25

What problems, tell me ? Olof was rekting people again, krimz consistant beast, dennis winning every pistol round, and jw seems to be at least 50% to his old sick form. They have literally no problems. Fuck off and watch them crush your favourite team.

2017-02-05 08:34

Oh and ofc, flusha again being senor vac. Gg wp everyone,unstoppable fnatic

2017-02-05 08:35

U personal fan of Olof or u think, that reshuffle Fn-Gods was only for major stickers? Maybe u think, that CS more important for JW than his own shop? Or u dont see CS became more tactical game that it was in 2015?? Now Fnatic one of many pro teams at CS scene

2017-02-05 14:08

Your english is so bad I barely understand you, so I will pretend I know what you are talking about and will try to respond Fnatic was always great cuz they were always way better skillwise than the other teams. They are just a perfect team that can only play MM tactics and win a major. Their skill is unreal, aim and the gamesense, they dont need to be a tactical team when they can HS everyone before the enemy can even react. There are really no problems, if they had big problems that couldnt be fixed, they would not go back to fnatic. There is NO problem in this team. Communication is perfect, everyone is hitting their shots, they got awfuly good synergy, they see through walls, I dont see anything wrong with this team. They are even friends again. No internal problems. So stfu and watch them win another 3 or mojors.o

2017-02-06 14:42

SK era when?? Did I missed something?

2017-02-05 07:23

new "old fnatic" good, but not best, VP best

2017-02-05 16:36

fnatic might well be top 3 again but I don't see them having another era. the problems that they had with personality were overwhelming for flusha and the team as a result, so I don't see them winning anything soon unless they fix their problems. ridiculous how massively overhyped they are right now when they relied solely on big performances from mostly olof and dennis and have won a single BO3 over G2 online with this lineup. now that all of the best teams have evolved into a more tactical, thorough play style then this is fnatic's real test to see if their style can still work at the highest level of competition. best of luck to them
