The team finished 13th-16th place in the MDL Disneyland Paris Major, eliminated by Keen Gaming in a best-of-one series.<\/p>\n

That was Fnatic’s worst result in a Major this season, after going top eight at the Kuala Lumpur Major and the Chongqing Major before finishing as second runner-up in DreamLeague Season 11.<\/p>\n

In Paris, however, they lost against OG and compLexity Gaming in the group stage, claiming their only win in the first game of their best-of-three series with the latter team. <\/p>\n\n\n
