fnatic Becomes First Casualty as Cloud9 Advances at Gamers8 Tournament
In the relentless arena of competitive gaming, fnatic has become the first casualty at the Gamers8 tournament, marking Cloud9's swift passage to the quarter-finals. The Russian-Kazakh ensemble displayed their prowess by securing a convincing 2-0 victory against fnatic (Vertigo 16-14, Anubis 16-7) within the unforgiving single-elimination bracket.
Cloud9's next challenge looms on the horizon—a face-off against the victor emerging from the highly anticipated clash between Liquid and ENCE in the first round. This decisive bout is scheduled for Friday at 17:30.
Despite fnatic's strategic selection of Vertigo, a map that they had previously conceded to Cloud9 in the IEM Cologne group stage last month, Cloud9 managed to seize the upper hand. The game unfolded in a seesaw fashion, with Cloud9 thwarting fnatic's attempted resurgence from a 1-6 and 6-11 deficit, thanks in part to the contributions of Aurélien "afro" Drapier and Fredrik "roeJ" Jørgensen. Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov played a pivotal role for Cloud9, delivering a game-changing quad kill and a trio of late-game eliminations that ultimately tilted the scales in their favor.
Anubis, the second map, unfolded in a chaotic manner, with numerous rounds culminating in nail-biting clutch situations. Cloud9 showcased their mettle by emerging victorious from most of these tense encounters, narrowly missing out on a trifecta of 1v3 scenarios that kept fnatic's financial stability in check. A resolute CT performance, characterized by audacious setups and precision flash tactics, solidified Cloud9's hold over the series.
Denis "electroNic" Sharipov shared insights about the opening map, Vertigo, during an on-stage interview with James "BanKs" Banks, expressing his team's comfort with the map despite opponents underestimating their prowess. Through these triumphs, Cloud9 underscores their competitive determination and readiness to navigate the rigorous terrain of the Gamers8 tournament.
