The names representing EMEA competed at Masters 2 including Fnatic, Funplus Phoenix and Guild Esports. In particular, Fnatic is the team winning the Stage 2 championship. In the final, Boaster and his teammates did not encounter any obstacles to defeat Funplus Phoenix 3-0. This is also the first major title of Fnatic after more than 1 year to witness the G2 eSports or Gambit Esports dominated.
In the past, Fnatic was once considered Emea's flag and reached the final Masters 1 Reykjavik. However, Fnatic had to receive a quick defeat of 0-3 to Sentinels. Entering the 2022 season, the British -based team made the team purification and only kept the captain Boaster, Derke and MISTIC.
Recruiting Enzo and Alfajer, Fnatic has found the perfect frame and regained its position in the EMEA area. On the other hand, despite the failure, Funplus Phoenix had a ticket to attend the international arena for the first time in history. In Stage 1, Funplus Phoenix is the EMEA championship team. However, due to the unstable political situation, Funplus Phoenix was forced to yield to the Liquid team.
With the Esports Guild, this is also the first time this team has participated in the tournament as Masters. Masters 2 will take place from 10 to 24/7 in Copenhagen, Denmark, with the participation of the world's top 12 teams. In addition to 3 representatives of Emea, the tournament has identified 8 other names including XSET, Optic Gaming, Dragonx, Northporation, Paper Rex, Xerxia Esports, Loud and Leviatan.
The last team attending Masters 2 will be revealed when the play-off match between Brazilian and Latin America closed. With an impressive performance and potential talent, Fnatic promises to reclaim the face for Emea when teams like M3 Champions or Acend are in decline.
