Interestingly, Fnatic picked the first map, Inferno. However, they didn’t manage to win a single round on that map. It was quite a shocking result considering the big gap between the qualities of these two teams. Immediately after the loss, Fnatic changed all monitors making, blaming the monitors they had for their terrible performance. Can you imagine that such a strong team as Fnatic would blame monitors for 16-0 loss? The commentors couldn’t believe it also, as one said it was the first time he’s ever seen anything like this.
The final map was Nuke. The defending champions started off on Nuke in convincing manner as they claimed eight out of the first nine rounds. Twist from Fnatic had a great play in eighth round when he took down four AGO’s players on B site retake.
