With that both teams will not be qualifying for Masters Bangkok as well. The winners, on the other hand, have moved to Lower Round 3, keeping their hopes alive.<\/p>\n<p>Both Fnatic and Team Liquid dominated their opponents, securing clean sweeps with comfortable wins. Here are the final scores for both series:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fnatic vs. Gentle Mates<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Winner: Fnatic<\/li>\n<li>Map 1 (Abyss): 13-5<\/li>\n<li>Map 2 (Fracture): 13-6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Team Liquid vs. GIANTX<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Winner: Team Liquid<\/li>\n<li>Map 1 (Fracture): 13-8<\/li>\n<li>Map 2 (Split): 13-6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Alfajer on Jett for the first time in EMEA was the highlight in Fnatic&#8217;s match up against Gentle Mates.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about this decision, Boaster said, &#8220;Honestly, we only had three days and three scrims. So, we were like, &#8216;We&rsquo;re gonna put Alfajer on Jett today because kaajak already knows how to play Yoru.&#8217; In scrims, we started doing really well on that map (Abyss) again. We thought, &#8216;That&rsquo;s probably the formula&mdash;just send the boys in full confidence because we know their caliber.&#8217; So, putting him (Alfa) on Tejo was probably not the best idea. Having him on Jett, just going in and killing, worked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fnatic will now be up against FUT Esports, while Team Liquid will be facing BBL on January 31.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fnatic and Team Liquid have eliminated Gentle Mates and GIANTX from the VCT EMEA Kickoff.
