FAV Gaming vs. Fnatic
This matchup was the most anticipated match of the week as we got to see two great teams fight on Oregon, which is a defender-sided map. Fnatic banned Maverick and Kaid in response to FAV’s Thatcher and Wamai ban. FAV’s Thatcher ban was meant to make it harder for Fnatic to breach sites. However, Fnatic decided to ban Maverick to make it really difficult for attackers to get angles into sites. Fnatic destroyed them 5-1 on defense due to the bans going in their favor. Then Fnatic closed the game with a 7-4 scoreline as they were able to pressure FAV with the score advantage.
Cloud9 vs. GUTS Gaming
