The Day 1 session has completed, with three players establishing a clear lead over their competition in the FNCS Major 2 EU results. P1ng, Wox, and Malibuca have managed to push ahead with a major lead. It isn’t over yet, but odds are against the other teams on Day 2.
Out of the 99 best Fortnite players in each region, only one Trio will come out as the winners. In Europe, competition is much wider than elsewhere. While a couple of Trios absolutely dominate in NA Central, Europe has tons of contenders. However, with the FNCS Major 2 EU Day 1 results now in, it isn’t looking close at all. Instead, P1ng, Wox, and Malibuca might be running away with it.

P1ng, Wox, and Malibuca Ahead in FNCS Major 2 EU Results
In the opening day of Europe’s FNCS, there’s two big divides on the leaderboard. We’ve got P1ng, Wox, and Malibuca ahead in first. The trio are currently sitting at over 400 points. In second is Vanyak, Pixie, and marius, followed by Tjino, PabloWingu, and Fredoxie in third. Those two are only slightly above 300 points, with most of the top 10 still within an easily closed gap. The FNCS Major 2 EU results are showing last season’s runner ups as the runaway team.
How have they established the lead? P1nq, Wox, and Malibuca got off to a decent start, with 6 kills 7th place finish in Game 1, followed by 8 with a 2nd place in Game 2. Game 3 solidified this consistency though, with 10 kills and a second-place result. High kills and great placement is impressive. They followed that up with a seven-kill game, then they won the first one of Day 1. 1st place with 6 kills in Game 5. Followed by a rougher Game 6, 8th place with 1 kill. However, with their great performance over the tournament they’ve established an impressive lead heading into Day 2.

Can Another Trio Close the Gap?
It’s only Day One, but long-time FNCS viewers should keep in mind this year’s big change. Day 2 points don’t count for extra like last year. If a team is ahead at the midway point, they have a substantial lead. Now, P1ng, Wox and Malibuca’s lead isn’t so high that they can blow out the second day and still win. If they want to walk away as new FNCS winners, they’ll need to continue their performance tomorrow too. We’ll have to watch through Day 2 and see if anyone can overtake them.
