Fnatic defeat RNG and SKT to qualify for 2019 World Championship quarter-finals

Fnatic will advance to the quarter-final stage of the 2019 League of Legends World Championship after a perfect 3-0 day that included wins against Clutch Gaming (CG), SK Telecom T1 (SKT), and Royal Never Give Up (RNG).

The LEC representative entered the final day of the group stage ranked behind a then-undefeated SKT and an impressive RNG team. With just one win over CG and defeats to SKT and RNG already, the task of winning all three games appeared to be an extremely challenging quest.

Although Fnatic got started with a win against CG, the game proved to be far more difficult for them than expected.

Fnatic’s hopes of advancing to the quarter-final stage appeared to worsen after the team struggled in a back-and-forth 48-minute game with CG. In the end, CG’s bizarre decision to call for an outmatched base race proved too costly and Fnatic rolled through the nexus in mere seconds to punish them.

That game was baffling at the time and later became even more so after Fnatic crushed both SKT and RNG, two of the higher-skilled teams in the entire competition.

THE GREATEST DAY IN WORLDS GROUPSTAGE HISTORY.

the team HAVE DONE IT. the team NEEDED TO 3-0. the team WENT 3-0.
