The fourth season of Fragbite Masters has come to a close with the Danish team reigning at the top. Team Solomid did once again an impressive run through the offline event, beating HellRaisers, Natus Vincere and finally Fnatic to claim the throne and the grand prize of $27,000.
Although Fnatic were coming to the finals as the favourites, Team Solomid still managed to surprise everyone and beat them very convincingly. Everything started on de_cobblestone which was the Fnatic's pick. The Swedish team even had a pleasure to choose the starting side as they had an veto advantage due to coming from the upper bracket. The Swedes took an easy pistol round, but from that moment on we were able to witness a Danish fest. Karrigan's squad were just stomping their opponents, crashing their economy and claiming a fantastic 12 rounds on T side. Fnatic were just completely shut down and this map went for TSM with the score of 16-5.
The next in line was de_mirage, a TSMÂ pick. This time we could see a reversed scenario. Fnatic had a very strong CT side, 11-4 and it was just a matter of the final round score difference once the switched to the T side. All Fnatic players were on point and TSM just didn't had an answer on their play. This map was closed with 16-7 for Fnatic.
One of the best if not the best map for Fnatic, de_inferno, was played as the third one in this best-of-five series. This time the Danes were the one with the great start on their CT side. They were up to 8-1 and it was looking like an easy game. However, pronax and his teammates showed once again that they really got no problems to make a comeback in any situation. They started rolling their machines and the half time score was 9-6 for TSM. Fnatic even continued with the great pistol round and everything was working their way until the first buy round for TSM. From that moment on, the Danish players took initiative and calmly closed this map 16-11.
The fourth map was the second pick of TSM, de_dust2. This time TSM repeated their strong T side performance from de_cobblestone and they took 9 rounds on this side of the map. Fnatic were just constantly in the problems with the economy and it was easy for the Danish team to play around that. Finally, once they switched Fnatic was allowed to pick only one map for the final 16-7 and a very dominant win for TSM.
This is the third LAN title for the Danish guys, following their win at CCS and FACEIT LAN finals. device said in the winners interview that they will be skipping all the tournaments in June, with the exception of ESL ESEA Pro League in case if they get qualified from the LAN finals of this tournament. However, from July on they will be moving to the gaming house and for the first time they will be playing full-time. He also said that this will help him a lot to get even a better synergy and show even better performance.
