FireGamers are out of the tournament on the opening day despite a shock 17-13 win over fnatic in their last match.
The Brazilian side knew they had a moutain to climb after losing 20-10 to wNv.cn on earlier in the day, but they still came into the game very confident of a win.
FireGamers started out better, winning the pistol round, after which they were surprised by a well-organised eco strategy from fnatic.
Although de_train is known to be one of fnatic´s strongest maps, the Swedish side could not impose themselves as T as they went into the second half losing 9-6.
Now playing as CT, fnatic came out strongly, winning the first five rounds, but then it was almost an all-FG show, inspired by their recent addition, Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo.
In the end, FG posted a 17-13 win, which falls short, though, as they finish third of their group based on the round difference between the three tied teams.
