fnatic have joined TSM in the semi-finals, securing first place in group B following a 16-4 victory over NiP on de_dust2.

After NiP overcame EnVyUs and fnatic scored another 16-0 of the tournament versus Luminosity, the two winners then met for first place in group B.

The nearly all-Swedish clash on home turf saw Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg and Christopher "⁠GeT_RiGhT⁠" Alesund transfer their momentum from the last game in the pistol round, although fnatic's forcebuy in round two after getting the bomb planted set the score at 1-1.

Two one-on-two clutches from Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson and Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell kicked off fnatic's lead, which was extended with another one-on-one by the former, all on B site, for 7-2.

After saving three guns at 2-8, NiP were able to buy up and get a round for themselves, only to find themselves broke in the round afterwards again. Yet another clutch, that time from Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist, put fnatic up on a horse going into the second half with 12-3.

A triple headshot from the new-old fnatic in-game leader nearly finished off the work, and in spite of NiP fighting back, the Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman-enhanced team secured first place in no time at 16-4.
