Published September 23, 2026

expo spotz. finished first at FNRS Map Madness #2, an online tournament played on September 19. The trio of Kaso, unlucky_op and exqjason took the winner’s place in an eleven-team single-elimination field. Melih finished second, while dc:zenx_bs and Blue palace occupied the two semifinal positions. The event served Europe, the Middle East, CIS and Africa and was organized by Fenris Gaming.

The result carried a direct share of the $145.50 pool shown by Matcherino. expo spotz. received $87.30, equal to the listed 60% winner share. Melih collected $29.10 for second place, and the two semifinalists received $14.55 each. The winner also earned the event’s winner pin. Those payouts line up with the published distribution of 60% for first, 20% for second and 10% for each semifinalist.

The finalist Melih fielded fayelo, mehlbrot and Coverz. The two named semifinal teams were dc:zenx_bs and Blue palace. Together, those four teams form the paid portion of the final standings. The result page also records eleven participating teams, so the podium emerged from a bracket that was smaller than the available registration limit but still required consecutive wins under a single-elimination rule.

Random maps shaped the tournament

Map Madness distinguished itself through its map selection. The event description says maps were chosen completely at random. Teams therefore had to prepare for variety across the listed pool instead of targeting one predictable sequence. The rule explains the competitive test while leaving the individual Brawler choices and game action to the match record.

The series length expanded for the title match. Matches through the semifinals were Bo3xBo3, meaning three sets with each set played as a best of three games. The grand final moved to Bo5xBo3, adding room for two more possible sets. A longer final asks the remaining teams to cover more modes and maps before the winner is settled, which fits an event designed around broad map readiness.

The format made every loss decisive. Single elimination offered no lower-bracket recovery, so the route to first place required expo spotz. to keep advancing whenever its match appeared. Melih followed the same route until the final, while dc:zenx_bs and Blue palace stopped in the semifinals. The published placement and payout data establish that order and provide a complete view of the paid standings.

The rosters give the result a human center. Kaso, unlucky_op and exqjason are the three players listed under expo spotz. Fayelo, mehlbrot and Coverz are listed for Melih. The winner’s share therefore belongs to that specific trio, and the runner-up position likewise identifies the three players who reached the extended Bo5xBo3 final.

Reading the final standings

First through fourth account for the full listed prize distribution. expo spotz. takes the majority share, Melih takes one fifth, and the two semifinal teams divide the remaining fifth equally. The clean split makes the placement table especially useful: each paid finish corresponds to a published percentage and dollar amount.

This is a completed tournament outcome within the conditions of FNRS Map Madness #2. Random maps, the event’s regional eligibility and a single-elimination bracket define the setting. expo spotz. earned first place, the largest payout and the winner pin. That is the durable result to carry into the team’s next appearance.

• Winner: expo spotz. — Kaso, unlucky_op and exqjason.
