The Zomblers Counter-Strike 2 team stepped up to the challenge at Fragadelphia 19, fighting through one of North America’s most storied grassroots LAN tournaments. Despite tough opposition and high-stakes matches, the squad made a strong showing and left the event with heads held high. Here’s a full recap of their Fragadelphia 19 journey.

📍 Stage 1 – Early Pressure, Strong Finish

Zomblers began their run in Stage 1, placed in a highly competitive group. Their opener was against Notorious, a seasoned team with LAN experience and the Zomblers took a tough 0–2 loss to start the event on the back foot.

Undeterred, they bounced back with a dominant 2–0 sweep over Dirty Dogs, picking up wins on Train and Dust2. That win helped secure their spot in Stage 2, showing the team’s resilience in do-or-die moments.

With elimination on the line, Zomblers rebounded again with a clutch 2–0 win over Tsunami, once more pulling through on Train and Dust2.

That set the stage for a high-stakes decider match against Chicken Coop. Unfortunately, despite a hard-fought effort, Zomblers were eliminated with a 0–2 loss, with Dust2 and Inferno played, and Train left as the unused decider.
