fnatic, NiP top RC EMS One Group C

fnatic defeated all three teams in Group C, including NiP, and qualified for RaidCall EMS One Summer 2013 LAN finals. The Swedish giants struggled and lost to Team X as well, but still went through in second place.

Opening round saw Finn "karrigan" Andersen's fnatic upset the mighty Ninjas in Pyjamas with a 16-8 score on de_cache following a close 8-7 opening half as terrorists on the map picked by NiP with de_train also remaining in the pool.

Anexis opened their match with a 9-6 lead against Team X on de_nuke_se, who mounted a comeback to go up 13-11 in the second half. The Brits prevailed this time though, winning the final three rounds to clinch a 16-14 win.

In the second round NiP overran Anexis 16-1 on de_nuke_se, while fnatic powered by some great play of Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth beat Team X 16-8 on de_mirage_ce.

All four teams still had a theoretical chances to go through depending on the results of the final round, and both matches came down to the wire. Anexis had a 9-6 first half lead on de_mirage_ce against fnatic, but they only won two terrorist side rounds and eventually lost 11-16.

Thanks to that result, NiP needed only 7 rounds against Team X to qualify as second based on round difference. Markus "pronax" Wallsten's squad unexpectedly led the way throughout the match, and in the end even managed to take down the Ninjas 16-13 on de_mirage_ce.

With fnatic and NiP now having qualified for the RaidCall EMS One Summer Season finals taking place at the ESL TV studios in Cologne, the list of teams looks as follows:

Copenhagen Wolves	Virtus.pro	fnatic
ESC Gaming	VeryGames	NiP

Thanks to their victory over NiP in the last round, Team X have secured a spot in the next season's cups while Anexis will need to go through A-Series or the Go4CS:GO cups should they want to participate.

Final two teams for the $35,000 tournament will be determined tomorrow when group D kicks off at 19:00 with Western Wolves, ALTERNATE, LDLC.com and iNation still in competition.
