fnatic claim the lead in the semi-final against AGAiN by winning first map de_dust2 16-11.

The match began with fnatic starting on the T-side of the map, picking up the pistol-round to build up the early lead. Not many rounds went by before the first steam problems came up, which lead to a discussion about how much money AGAiN should get. The teams came to an agreement and continued the match. AGAiN got to collect some important CT rounds towards the end of the half, where fnatic scored a 9-6 lead.

Second half with fnatic as CT, the Swedes picked up their second pistol-round in the match, putting pressure on AGAiN. AGAiN went to buy in the second round, which they lost, but continued to buy those cheap AK47's. AGAiN put a stop to the Swedish CT wins, starting to score those important T rounds. When fnatic had money to buy weapons again, fnatic succeeded to win the round, seeing Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg winning a 1v2 with AWP in hand. This ignited fnatic, but Mariusz "loord" Cybulski wanted it different, taking home a round for AGAiN, seeing last man of fnatic pull out without trying to defuse as time was short.



Last round for fnatic to win was brought home by Björn "threat" Pers, who put three AGAiN members to the grave on the A-spot. fnatic claim a 1-0 lead in the semi-final at World Esports Masters with 16-11 on de_dust2
