Yesterday we saw Team Dignitas and NiP Gaming put on quite a show for the viewers, and Team Dignitas was the superior team in the end after a strong performance on Dust2. Tonight, we have another two matches in the upper bracket, where four teams fight for spots in round 2.
First off will be the best of three game between the smoking hot French team LDLC and the multi-national five in mousesports. The latter will not have their original lineup, though, as Aleksi "allu" Jalli is unavailable to play. Instead, the Swedish former fnatic player Andreas "schneider" Lindberg will step in. This will also be the first Fragbite Masters match we see mousesports play with their recent recruit Finn "karrigan" Andersen, who played in the group stage with Copenhagen Wolves.

— Indeed you could say we will still have the normal mousesports approach. Which will be trying to lock them down when we are CT just on skill and as T we will play a lot of our entryfrags. Since allu isn't there, I will be picking up the awp again everytime, and try to do my best with it ;) But LDLC is a very strong opponent, so whatever we will try to do it's going to be hard, Chris "chrisJ" de Jong says.
The match above will be followed with yet another highly anticipated game. This time, fnatic and Titan battle for pride and a spot in round 2. The last time these teams played a best of three against each other was at DreamHack Stockholm, where Titan beat the Swedes with two maps against none. Though, that result doesn't haunt the fnatic-AWP:er Jesper "JW" Wecksell, but he still weighs a lot into tonight's game.LDLC vs.

— To be honest, the match at Dreamhack Stockholm is long gone for me, i dont think about it at all, it was a good experience for the future maybe, but taking in to consideration that olof had a pretty huge fever and krimz arrived 5 minutes after the match was supposed to start etc, I think our minds were pretty stressed in that matchup, Wecksell explains to Fragbite Masters.
— Playing Titan is always difficult as they have good players and an IGL that anti-strats the hell out of you. Our mindset for tonights game is like going in to any match, we stay calm and we go for nothing but the win. We really want to get to the FBM Lan Finals and we want it to be as smooth as possible so I guess we have to take our revenge tonight, he continues.
