The day is done for RaidCall EMS One Spring 2013 Cup #3 with fnatic on top after winning 2-1 (16-11 de_mirage_csgo, 10-16 de_inferno_se, 16-11 de_train_se) against LDLC.com in the grand final. fnatic will be getting 100 points in the ranking and prize money worth $600.

First semi-final saw the new, this time complete fnatic lineup taking on Ricardo "fox" Pacheco's k1ck. The Danish-Swedish-Norwegian mix had a rocket start into the match, winning 16-9 in the end with 12-3 at the halftime.

LDLC.com with Morgan "B1GGY" Madour, who was standing in for Mathieu "MaT" Leber, showed a good performance against Anexis. A 9-6 lead at the halftime and a won pistol helped them to win with a comfortable 16-10 score.

The final started off on the most 1.6-like map of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, de_mirage_go. Once again a rocket start from fnatic left only three rounds for the Frenchmen going into the second half.

LDLC.com seemed to pick up then, securing the pistol round and both anti-ecos. The following gunrounds were evenly distributed between the two teams with fnatic clinching a map point at 15-9. Only two more rounds held fnatic off from winning the first map 16-11.

apEX's individual performances were not enough to take fnatic down

With the map changing to de_inferno_se, fnatic lost the knife round to begin as Terrorists once again. The Frenchmen strongly replied after losing the pistol round, with Madour and Dan "apEX" Madesclaire making the difference in three of the remaining gunrounds, making the score 11-4 before switching sides.

Switching over to Counter-Terrorists, fnatic crushed LDLC.com in the second pistol round. Only with glocks and flashbangs on the fifth round though, LDLC pushed into B bombsite to add the first round in their favor to get a momentum going for the Frenchmen, who won most of the following rounds to make the score 16-10.

The last map of the grand final seemed like a deja vu, with fnatic beginning as Counter-Terrorists this time around. The Scandinavian team won the pistol, however they ended up losing 2v1 and 4v2 situations in the remaining rounds. Madesclaire's team was leading 9-6 at the halftime.

Although the Terrorist side is statistically very unfavorable, fnatic started turning things around by winning the pistol and most of the gunrounds afterwards. LDLC.com only managed to win one round before losing the final map of de_train_se 11-16.

The RaidCall EMS One organizers have asked Andreas "MODDII" Fridh for a statement, which is following:

"I think the cup was really awesome. It was my first "test" as a player and ingame leader since i started to play CS:GO, besides DreamHack Winter, and it was our first time playing together as a team since we joined up with fnatic. So, a win here feels incredibly good because we basically haven't started to practice yet and we have no real "tactics" besides a "standard" tactic on three maps (train - mirage - dust2).

When I saw that we were supposed to play against LDLC.COM, I was a little bit suprised, just because it was such a strong cup with big names in it, but they were really good and I feel really happy that we could win over them after being down 6-9 on CT train."
