fnatic punched their ticket to the ECS Season 8 Finals after defeating Virtus.pro 2-0 in the grand final of Week 5 Europe.

The Swedish team capped off a flawless run in the fifth European bracket of the season with a dominant performance against Virtus.pro, who could not capitalize on their success against FaZe in the previous stage as they were no match for the DreamHack Masters Malmö champions.

fnatic were caught off-guard by Virtus.pro's strong start to the game on Overpass, but once the Swedes hit their stride there was no stopping them. They took control of proceedings after being down 3-6 and ran away with the lead to secure the map at 16-8.

The Polish team still attempted a response on Mirage, their own map pick, where they came back from 3-8 down to bring the deficit to a minimum. The second half brought no respite for Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski's men, who conceded the map without taking a single round on the T side as they simply could not break through the water-tight Swedish defense.
