The morning dawn will bring about a long awaited dispute between our very own FnaticMSI and Polish side AGAiN. The clash couldn't have come in a better moment for our Swedes, given their crushing win over Korean side WMF and along with it, the qualification into the semi's of the WEM.

The Swedes were certainly eager today to prove they've still got their magic going and a rather average Dreamhack participation didn't mean that this is the end of their 2009 peak. More is set to come and hopefully tomorrow will bring about a new kick-off for the Fnatic fans. FnaticMSI kept themselves highly ambitious today, as they went into their qualification deciding match. The Swedes took the situation under control from the very first moment and that has certainly shown in the final score. If a good night sleep is all that they need to keep the same play-style going tomorrow then let's hope nobody disturbs them, because with this chemistry going nothing can stand in their way, let it be AGAiN, PG or TyLoo whichever name comes up.

Additionally the fact that the most recent clash between the two teams was in the World Cyber Games grand final only makes the upcoming match more interesting; both sides are in China to win it, yet everyone suspects a second clash was in the mind of both Fnatic and AGAiN, in the sense that our Swedes need a revenge over the denial of their missing trophy, meanwhile the Poles need to show again what they're made of, especially in front of 2009's best Counter-Strike name. Previously people awaited an all Swedish clash of the Fnatic versus SK or MYM type, yet now this shapes up to become the match of the event.




Theoretically, our boys are stronger with three direct clashes against the Poles this year, out of which FnaticMSI came out on top on two occasions. Whether this is meaningful or not remains to be seen, yet the figures remain there. At the same time, it's true enough that the Poles managed to take the best out of our team in the recent WCG clash, yet their form in the aftermath left people unconvinced. The Arbalet Cup brought back an image of a squad which is quite good, yet not strong enough to promote a fearless image of themselves. Many could mention the same thing about Fnatic's attendance at Dreamhack, yet without making excuses, one cannot equally compare situations which are slightly different.




Then there's the issue of the missing and replacing links. Both pasha and threat have shown a good game so far, yet tomorrow is a moment for both of them to step up, as their roles are essential in the overall evolution of their respective teams. Their playing styles are different with pasha being more of fragger and threat offering further stability and calmness to our team's play-style; so how will the current line-ups alter the result remains to be seen. The match is set to kick-off at 07:00 CET, so stay tuned with us and keep cheering for our boys.
