[Competitive] Fnatic cup finals & news

Haven't really had much time for this over the past few days - any time for writing about dota has been spent working on a guide to SK, which seems to be taking more time and effort than perhaps its worth xD

Fnatic cup final day

Semifinals
First off here we have Slavik PRO against Fnatic.MSI, lineups looked like this:

Slavik PRO (Sentinel) Fnatic.MSI (Scourge)
Puck (top) Jugger (top)
Sand King (top) Maiden (top)
Viper (mid) Necrolyte (mid)
Spectre (bot) PotM (bot)
Warlock (bot) Shaker (bot)

Started off rather promisingly with both teams looking decent, however by around 18mins into the game, its starting to look decidedly one-sided and starts developing into somewhat of a stomp. Download Replay

The other semi-final was Xeo.divine vs Ks.Int. I've been unable to find a replay for this game, but considering ks.int are in the final, presumably they won this :P

Finals
Final was between ks.int and fnatic - the two favourites, game played in a best of 3 format.
