RES Regional Series 6 EuropeblameF stars en route to first event win in fnatic
The Danish rifler dominated the grand final of RES Regional Series 6 Europe with a 1.71 rating.
fnatic have won RES Regional Series 6 Europe after beating Passion UA 2-1 in the grand final, earning $50,000 for the first-place finish — a significant result ahead of Valve's final ranking update for the Shanghai Major qualifiers — and securing their first event win with Benjamin "blameF" Bremer.
The 27-year-old joined the British organization in May after three months on Astralis' bench and hasn't missed a beat upon his return, averaging a 1.27 rating and 1.32 impact rating over 47 maps.
The team missed the playoffs of CCT Global Finals upon his debut and faltered in a qualifier for BLAST Fall Showdown, but ended the first half of the year on the rise with a playoff run at YaLLa Compass and a runners-up finish to 9z at FiReLEAGUE Global Finals.
That form has persisted out of the tournament break as the organization claimed its second RES Regional Series title, powered by a blameF in scalding form. The Dane posted a 1.24 series rating or higher across his team's five series victories, only dropping below that (1.16) in a loss to Zero Tenacity in the group stage.

He dwarfed those numbers in the grand final, which he began by eviscerating Passion UA — who beat Ninjas in Pyjamas en route to the final — with a 2.14 rating (25-6 K-D, 122.5 ADR) on Nuke. A stellar CT side from him on the Ukrainian team's Mirage pick (2.07 rating, 17-4 K-D, 135.2 ADR) helped fnatic garner a 7-5 lead, but a flawless defense from Passion UA turned the map on its head as fnatic completely collapsed in the second half.
blameF put on another defensive masterclass on the Ancient decider, posting a 2.12 CT rating, 18-5 K-D, and 123.5 ADR, but strong showings from Alexandre "bodyy" Pianaro and Matúš "MATYS" Šimko made it less of a one-man show this time as fnatic took a 9-3 lead. blameF fell away in the second half as Passion UA mounted a comeback effort, but MATYS and Aurélien "afro" Drapier stepped up with impactful multi-kill rounds to shut that down and close out for their side.
