fnatic fall to CLG in Cologne

Counter Logic Gaming have pulled off the unthinkable upset versus fnatic with a 16-12 (6-9, 10-3) scoreline on de_mirage at ESL ESEA Pro League Season 1 Finals.

fnatic started their opener at the $250,000 ESL ESEA Pro League Season 1 Finals as well as one might expect, going up 6-1 on de_mirage against CLG as counter-terrorists.

Problems started soon after, and though Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson and Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer secured the Black and Orange a few clutch rounds, they half a measly 9-6 lead at half.

CLG pull off the unthinkable 

After winning the second half pistol round as well, CLG did not repeat the mistake of losing a second round buy, and racked up seven rounds straight to go up 13-9 before fnatic replied.

With Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell leading the way, fnatic got back to 13-13 before suffering a few round losses, leading to a surprising 16-13 win by CLG, led by James "⁠hazed⁠" Cobb. ESL ESEA Pro League Season 1 FinalsBest of 1 fnaticMatchpage 12 16 2nd July 2015 CLG 12Mirage 16
