blameF after PGL Masters Bucharest exit: “We need to do better at the Major”

Fnatic captain Benjamin “blameF” Bremer reacted to his team’s elimination from PGL Masters Bucharest 2025, calling the result “very disappointing” and adding that the team “needs to do better at the Major.” He shared the message on his personal X account shortly after the loss. 

Fnatic were knocked out in the Swiss stage by GamerLegion, 0–2, falling 11–13 on Train and 7–13 on Overpass.

HLTV’s match report highlighted that despite blameF’s strong event overall, Fnatic couldn’t find enough across the server to stay alive.

According to tournament coverage, Fnatic finish 12th–14th and take home $9,375. The event runs October 26–November 1 in Bucharest, Romania, with a $1.25M prize pool.
