fnatic easily defeat iBUYPOWER

fnatic have defeated iBUYPOWER 16-7 (9-6, 7-1) on de_cobblestone in their opening match at ESL One Cologne 2014.

iBUYPOWER attacked B to start their terrorist side of de_cobblestone, but three kills by Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer and two by Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell gave fnatic the openiing pistol round.

A good save by iBP netted them two kills, and star player Braxton "⁠swag⁠" Pierce put up three headshots, including a one-on-two, to get them on the board in the next round.

After a save swag won another key one-on-one with two kills, and after another weapon round that saw them trade picks early on, they found themselves up 5-2 as terrorists.

That's when fnatic shifted to a higher gear, as olofmeister and Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist put up triple kill rounds each to force iBUYPOWER on a save round, tying the game up again.

Now at 5-5, iBUYPOWER took over B and gained one final lead at 6-5, before fnatic replied. Markus "⁠pronax⁠" Wallsten's triple forced iBP on a save, and a double kill from him made it 8-6.

pronax led his team to a win on de_cobblestone 

On the final round olofmeister and Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson combined for five kills, and fnatic changed sides with a comfortable 9-6 lead as counter-terrorists on the map.

The team's captain pronax continued strong play in the second half, putting up another double on the pistol, followed by a triple against iBUYPOWER's triple Scout buy.

Down 6-12 after another save, Sam "⁠DaZeD⁠" Marine and swag got iBUYPOWER a round, but JW and flusha then broke their money with five kills.

The North Americans went for a weak Scout buy next, but it paid no dividends. A full buy later saw fnatic run over their A defense, and break iBUYPOWER's money again.

With fnatic up 15-7, iBP bought whatever they could, but swag's triple FAMAS round was outdone by JW who scored a quad-kill and a one-on-two to win 16-7. ESL One Cologne 2014Best of 1 fnaticMatchpage 16 7 14th August 2014 iBUYPOWER 16Cobblestone 7
