— ESL (@ESL) August 23, 2015FNATIC were the first team to ever win two Majors, and this is their third winning. It’s also the first ever back-to-back Major win the ESL has seen.
The rerun of the tournament can be watched on Twitch right now. Despite only being replays, they’re still pulling in several thousand viewers (45k at time of writing).
F this! NV had it. Flusha toggled 100% BibleThump
GG nevertheless.
I still don't get how flusha (and the rest of fnatic by association) haven't lost all credibility.
Dust was going well until NV got casual, thinking their win was guaranteed at 14-7, but Fnatic proved them otherwise. That seemed to shatter KennyS, making him miss the shots when they counted (I think he was only even able to get the AWP for 1 round that game).. Great play from Fnatic but in truth I was let down by NV's loss of momentum
