The lower bracket finals saw a rematch of the upper bracket round 2 duel between Fnatic and Titan. Titan lost their match against Virtus.pro in the upper bracket finals which knocked them down to the lower bracket, while Fnatic won against Mousesports to move on to the finals of the lower bracket.
The first map, de_mirage, saw a very good Titan performance on T side where they pushed back Fnatic to only 7 rounds on the CT side of this map. Considering that this is one of the best maps of Fnatic, Titan could have been very pleased with the 8-7 lead as they were moving to the CT side. However, Fnatic showed their full strength as they moved on to the T side. They took the pistol round and started building up the momentum which in the end escalated as a 16-10 score for them.
The next map in line was de_cache where we saw Titan finding holes in Fnatic's defense and getting up to 8 rounds on T side. However, as Fnatic moved on to T side they showed an even better performance . They won 9 out of 10 rounds in the second half for the final score of 16-9 and a spot in the grand finals.
Fnatic will now face Virtus.pro in the grand finals where the Polish team already has one best-of-three series advantage. This means that Fnatic has to win two best-of-three series in a row in order to take the title, while Virtus.pro needs just one best-of-tree series to win ESEA Season 18.
