Fnatic have destroyed BIG 2-0 in the grand final of the Elisa Masters in Espoo to win their first offline Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/a> event in over three years. <\/p>\n

Winning the Elisa Masters means that Fnatic have taken out the US$100,000 first-place prize, while they are the first team to gain a spot in the IEM Katowice<\/a> 2023 Play-In, starting in January next year.<\/p>\n

The European roster were dominant all the way through the tournament, finishing on top of Group B with a 4-1 record before winning their semi-final over Astralis 2-0. <\/p>\n

Fnatic, led by William \u201cmezii\u201d Merriman, continued their dominance in the grand final by taking the series 2-0 in quick fashion, winning the first map 16-4 and the second map 16-5. <\/p>\n

BIG were behind from the get-go in both maps as they gave up massive half-time leads, trailing 11-4 at the break on both Vertigo and Overpass.<\/p>\n

Both teams were missing players for the Elisa Masters, with Freddy \u201cKRIMZ\u201d Johansson for Fnatic and Florian \u201csyrsoN\u201d Rische for BIG being unable to take their place in the event. <\/p>\n

KRIMZ was sidelined by a hand injury, while syrsoN contracted COVID-19 days before the tournament got underway. <\/p>\n

Mezii was the star performer and led from the front for Fnatic on the first map, Vertigo, recording 22 kills and a huge rating of 1.83 as well as 115.2 ADR in the 16-4 win.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dion \u201cFASHR\u201d Derksen was huge for the eventual champions on the second map, Overpass, finishing with a rating of 1.64 and 101.7 ADR in the 16-5 demolition.<\/p>\n

The Elisa Masters champions continued their strong run of form after they finished fifth-eighth at the IEM Rio Major<\/a> early this month.<\/p>\n
