Fnatic upset Cloud9 in org’s return to CS:GO Majors at IEM Rio despite sh1ro’s best efforts
The three-time Major champion organization Fnatic has enjoyed a successful return to the Valve-sponsored tournament today. The team led by William “mezii” Merriman took down the almighty Cloud9 after a hard-fought overtime on Inferno (19-17).
Fnatic was absent from the Major circuit since 2019 when its Swedish lineup attended IEM Katowice Major. The organization has moved away from Sweden since then and qualified for IEM Rio Major with an international lineup featuring its veteran Freddy “KRIMZ” Johansson and the former Copenhagen Flames duo Nico “nicoodoz” Tamjidi and Fredrik “roeJ” Jørgensen.
