It is touch and go for fnatic

It is that time again, where fnatic will be able to determine their faith, going to the playoffs or crashing out of the tournament. So far, they have always made it out in last shot, will it once again be so, or will fnatic for the first time, in a long time, crash in the group stage?

The Swedish team has had a lot of problems getting through group stages this year, but once they have reached the playoffs, they always make it to the final and usually end up winning it all. The very last match in the group stage for fnatic at World Esports Masters will be against WeMade FOX, who have been far from impressing over the last period of time.


A 16-14 win against wNv.cn was far from impressing by WeMade FOX

Last time the two teams met, was at Global Challenge Dubai, where the match between the two, would determine who would go to the relegation stage and who would exit the tournament. The two teams faced off on de_train, where fnatic was able to secure a 20-10 win and further participation in the tournament.

The Swedes are for the tournament without Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl, who was unable to travel to China with the team. Will Björn "threat" Pers be able to guide fnatic to the playoffs, this time facing WeMade FOX on de_dust2. Last time the two teams met on the map, was in the e-Stars Seoul 2009 Grand Final, where fnatic crushed the South Koreans 16-1.


Alesund can be the turning-moment for fnatic in the match, will he?

Tune in a 12:30CET and find out which of the two teams will be making it to the playoffs at World Esports Masters. The winning team will in the semi-final be facing AGAiN, who are winners of Group A.

Second match of Wednesday will be MYM taking on AGAiN, in a match that won’t mean much. AGAiN have already qualified for the playoffs in top spot and not even a 0-30 loss against MYM will change it. MYM will however be looking at redeeming themselves and at the least win one match, after losing against TyLoo and TitaNs.
