Global Challenge in Montreal has found its winner, as fnatic defeat SK Gaming on two maps.

It has been a long time for fnatic without a win in a tournament. With second places, bad performance and lately not any luck what so ever, it is now fnatics turn to win a major. With a revenge win against Evil Geniuses, fnatic seem to have regained the strength they have lacked for so long. In the grand final a well playing SK Gaming was waiting for fnatic. SK Gaming won the Global Challenge in Los Angeles, while fnatic went out with a big boom. As fnatic came from the lowerbracket, they had to win two maps in order to win overall, while SK Gaming only needed one win to secure the golden trophy.
