ESL EM III: Fnatic versus Lag-blank



Tonight Fnatic will go head-to-head against Lag-blank in the Lower Bracket Final of the Swedish Extreme Masters Season III Qualifier in order to qualify for the Main Round.

Last week Fnatic lost to SK Gaming two games to none in the Upper Bracket Final on de_tuscan and rather surprisingly de_train, despite it being Fnatic's strongest map.

Now the Swede's are in the Lower Bracket Final against Lag-blank, who triumphed over 0E1F23 (now EvilZone) in a tight affair which saw Blank taking the last map 16-14.

Fnatic need to win this map not just to reach the Grand Final of the entire qualifer but to earn a spot in the Main Round so there is no doubt in mind that both teams will pull out all the stocks.

However, should our boys lose, they still have a chance to play in the third season of the Extreme Masters through offline tournaments or direct invitation.

UPDATE: Fnatic beat Lag-blank 2-1 and progress to the Grand Final against SK Gaming.
