B8 slo Fnatic på Ancient og gikk videre til 2–0 på StarLadder Budapest Major 2025
November 29, 2025 — In Stage 2 of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, B8 pulled off a surprising 13–11 victory over Fnatic on Ancient. With this win, B8 improve to a confident 2–0, while Fnatic drop to 1–1, now needing to recover in the Swiss stage.
The direction of the match was largely shaped during the map veto, reflecting each team’s strategic choices:
- Fnatic removed Dust2
- Fnatic removed Mirage
- B8 removed Train
- B8 removed Inferno
- B8 removed Overpass
- Fnatic removed Nuke
- Ancient remained as the final map
On Ancient, B8 displayed excellent coordination, smart utility usage, and clutch performances in crucial rounds, keeping Fnatic from gaining consistent momentum. Despite Fnatic’s efforts to stabilize the game with tactical executes and mid-round adjustments, B8 maintained control and closed out the map.
This victory is significant for B8, one of the Major’s “dark horses,” proving they can compete with top-tier teams and handle the pressure of Stage 2. For Fnatic, the defeat is a warning that the Swiss stage is unforgiving, and every BO1 match carries high stakes.
For fans, the match was another reminder of the Major’s unpredictability: no victory is guaranteed, and every round can decisively impact tournament standings.
