The favored Swedish side, fnatic, defeated TyLoo.raw in the Final of Intel Extreme Masters 5 Global Challenge Shanghai and secured a spot at the IEM5 World Championship in 2011.

First map that fnatic and TyLoo.raw clashed on was de_nuke, one on which the Chinese team impressively secured a place in the Final yesterday, defeating their comrades TyLoo 16-0. Therefore, it could have been expected that this will be a close affair, but fnatic quickly took matters into their own hands and won their CT side 11-4. In second half, the Swedes secured the pistol round, and it was only a matter of time before they would finish of the map. They did so rather quickly as the final score of the first map ended up being 16-7. The result could have been closer if there wasn't for Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl, who won three 1vs2 situations throughout the match bringing his team a few perhaps unexpected rounds.

Second map was de_train as fnatic started on the favored CT side. That proved to be a lot of trouble for TyLoo.raw as they found themselves down 13-2 at the half. Needing an almost perfect second half, the Chinese did manage to win the pistol round and start off quite good, taking an 8-0 lead. The European giants then regained control and finished off the match with the result 16-10 to win the first event in the 5th season of Intel Extreme Masters.
