Two months after the formation of the team, Blackfade managed to grab their first major tournament victory this weekend as they came on top of the competition in the It's Gosu April HoN Invitational and took home the $1800 prize. They defeated FnaticRaidCall in the finals, who deserved a $600 consolation prize.

Eight teams fought their way through to the invitational via two open qualifiers to duke it out in a single elimination best-of-three format.

It's Gosu April Invitational Brackets

Fans were in shock as they saw the reigning champions in Trademark eSports and the previous winners in Frenetic Array upset by Clan Milk and Big Girls Don't Cry in the first round of the tournament, while the two other favorites; Fnatic and Blackfade managed to 2-1 their opponents in hard fought matches. In the second round, both seemed to have an easier time, though, and we were once again to witness an all European final.

Blackfade's interesting Balphagore line-up was quickly made laughable by Tal 'Fly' Aizik's Tempest once he picked up his Shrunken Head. Blackfade, however, quickly bounced back to their usual self, featuring Shamal 'LezzQQ' Amin-Enemark on Moraxus and a lot of stuns on their team, 'pubtraining' their way to victory in the next two matches after securing an early game lead over their opponents.

It's Gosu April Invitational Results:
1. Europe Blackfade - $1600
2. Europe FnaticRaidCall - $600
3./4. Europe Big Girls Don't Cry / UnitedStates Clan Milk
