In the early hours of today, fnatic defeated Passion UA 2-1 in the RES Regional Series 6 Europe finals to win the championship, earning $50,000 in prize money. Given that the Shanghai Major RMR ranking will close by August 7, this achievement is very important for fnatic. This is also the first championship fnatic has won since blameF joined the team. The latter joined the team in May this year.
After joining fnatic, the new fnatic lineup did not perform well in the early stages, failing to reach the knockout stage of the CCT Global Finals and not qualifying for the BLAST Fall Finals. However, they gradually regained their form in the YaLLa Compass and finished as runners-up in the FiReLEAGUE Global Finals, losing to 9z.
It seems that fnatic's form remains hot after the break. blameF's BO3 rating in the RES Regional Series 6 Europe was 1.24 or higher in all winning matches, except for the group stage loss to Zero Tenacity where it was 1.16.
