Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

fnatic have taken the lead over Natus Vincere in the grand final of DreamHack Summer 2012 with a 16-11 win on de_dust2. The teams will now move to the stage and the match will continue around 15:00.

Fnatic and Natus Vincere are by many dubbed the two best teams in the world at this moment and their matchup in the grand final of DreamHack Summer 2012 testified to that opinion. Their most recent encounter was at the previous major tournament, Copenhagen Games, where they also played in the grand final, with fnatic coming out on top 28-25 on de_dust2.

A fierce battle was once again expected starting with de_dust2, only this time we were guaranteed to see at least two maps.

The Swedes opened up the match by winning the pistol round as CTs, and even though Na`Vi snapped back in the third round, fnatic increased their lead to 4-1.

But the Ukrainians' slow paced attacks proved fruitful eventually as they scored several rounds in a row to take a 5-4 lead. The following eco by fnatic surprisingly went their way to even the score, although largely thanks to the saved AWP by Michael "Friis" Jørgensen from the previous round.

However, Na`Vi guys weren't shaken and they went back up to 9-5 before letting fnatic taking the last round of the half.

Fnatic's offensive on de_dust2 has been impressive lately, especially against ESC Gaming earlier today, so a 6-9 deficit was nothing to worry about at this point. They started the second half brilliantly, winning five rounds in a row and taking an 11-9 lead.

Natus Vincere evened the result at 11-11, but the Swedes once again showed that they are in impressive shape as they won all the important rounds and quickly closed the map with a 16-11 score.

The teams and their PCs will now move to DreamArena Extreme to play the second and a potential third map in front of a big crowd. The match is scheduled to continue around 15:00.

not really, they only formed this lineup when CS 1.6 is nearly dead so they have not competed in an era when the competition was at its highest.

2012-06-18 15:05:11
NAVI/ESC/SK.. BEST AIMERS OF ALL TIME SHUT THE FKUP
2012-06-18 15:44:28

the key round for win was friis + karrigan against 4 navi players...

today fnatic is the best team on de_dustnatic2
2012-06-18 14:19:18
agree about round 2vs4 :((
after this Na`Vi have 2 eco
so loose 4vs2 = +3 round for fnatic :(
2012-06-18 14:21:53
true
and when fnatic was ct the round that friis only with awp take so "izi" this round -_-
navi is know for ttcs and teamplay, but 2day they (on d2) played completely wrong, with so many mistakes -_-...

2012-06-18 14:28:40
yeah:(
2 loose pistols and loose 2vs4 is fail
if be truthly if Na`Vi take this 4vs2 and 1 pistol it would be +4-5 rounds for Na`Vi
2012-06-18 14:49:00
yeah they won this round with amazing teamplay.
2012-06-18 14:22:45
fnatic played extremely well with amazing teamplay.
2012-06-18 14:22:13
Go go Na'Vi! fnatic have become everything I hated SK for.
2012-06-18 14:25:25
<3 MODDII. :|
2012-06-18 14:28:32
MODDII has been my favourite player for years. I'd much rather watch him causing upsets in ALCHEMISTS again though, than taking the piss out of other teams with Para's.
2012-06-18 14:31:08
so they bought para and now you hate them? wow why so sensitive?
2012-06-18 14:47:52
No. Now they are just like SK. A team of 5 amazing players put together purposely to win. They have no history anymore. With the loss of carn, the age-long rivalry between SK and fnatic is pretty much over.

If you think otherwise, be my guest and enlighten me, but you will be hard pushed.
2012-06-18 14:53:12
So you hate the team because they are five amazing players? Would you rather have them play with some players with less skill?

The rivalry between SK and fnatic will never end. Why would it? They will always want to be the best team in Sweden, hence rivals.

But ok, you hate fnatic because its a new team. You can hate them as much as you want, but when you add your logic to it you just sound butthurt
2012-06-18 14:58:03
I never said I hate them because of their skill.

The rivalry is now only that of 2 top teams, rather than the whole 'carn vs SK' fiasco.

And when did I mention anything about hating them because they are a new team?

If you're gunna start using words like "butthurt", we may aswell just end the conversation here kid.
2012-06-18 15:50:09
the diference is cArn and dsn stop playing, they don't cut them like sk always do with their players....

omg,you live too much in the drama world,Kardashian
2012-06-18 15:18:50
Sorry, I think you're right, we should make CS more boring, that will make it more popular and stop it from eventual death. Good thinking Sherlock, thank god the CS community has someone as smart as you. Phew....

"The teams and their PCs will now move to DreamArena Extreme to play the second and a potential third map in front of a big crowd. The match is scheduled to continue around 16:00."

Which a genius tossed this idea?
2012-06-18 14:31:59
karrigan became so impressive !!
2012-06-18 14:39:15
