After defeating Looking4Org 2-0 in the final, fnatic qualified from the European open qualifier for Gamers8 2023. William “mezii” Merriman’s team will be competing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, among teams like Vitality, G2, and Heroic for the greater part of a $1,000,000 prize pool.

The French squad including Ali “hAdji” Hanouss, defeated several strong teams in the bracket like 9INE and Astralis but they couldn’t manage to match that level of competition in the final.
