"Oh Why of Why Fnatic?!"
Dreamhack has always been one of my favorite events to
follow and it's always fun to watch the various competitions going on like
CS:GO, SC2:HOTS, LOL and DOTA2.
But this year it was really a moment of madness that drew
the most attention. See the video.
Fnatic have always been strong at Dreamhack being the
past winners for many years. And facing them in the quarter finals was LDLC
which always come up short when facing Fnatic. However this time at Dreamhack
they put up a very good fight and managed to split the first 2 maps.
On the deciding map de_overpass they managed to win the
pistol round and pulled ahead with a 13-3 lead. But then Fnatic decided to do a
3-man boost that essentially broke the map as they had almost full view of the
entire map. With the boost they were able to make an impossible comeback and
win the second half and secure their spot in the semi final.
In my opinion it was a racy decision from Fnatic as even
though it wasn't an illegal boost, the move really broke the map and some even
said it was close to pixel walking which was illegal. (my inner gamer girl
though was really thrilled at the Godlike maneuver. Lols)
Another thing was that LDLC also used an illegal boost on
the kioshima from the CT spawn so the fair decision from Dreamhack officials
was a replay of the last map. However at this time Fnatic decided to forfeit
the match instead of re-contesting it.
Anyways, it's all to much stress as i hope esports can
really recover from this. From '322' in Dota2 to this happening in CS:GO..
Whhhhyyy!!!??
