SK faces ESC in CS:GO challenge final
Time: 2012-04-05 00:40
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

The semi-finals have finished at Copenhagen Games where Sound Blaster CS:GO Challenge is taking place today. ESC Gaming faces SK Gaming in the grand final for a chance at 1,000€.

The first semi-final saw ESC Gaming take on the Brazilians of TargetDown CS:S. Filip "Neo" Kubski's team started as terrorists, going up 3-2 in the beginning. The half was very back and forth from there on out, with TD jumping up to a 7-4 lead before losing three out of the four rounds to finish the half 8-7.

After switching sides, Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas and company once again rallied, as they picked up the pistol round as counter-terrorists and went on a 6-0 run, 13-8 overall. TargetDown resisted for two more rounds, but ESC went on to win 9-2, 16-10 overall.

In the other semi-final, SK Gaming was paired up with the British mousesports CS:S team. After over an hour of delays due to PC issues, the match finally got underway with SK winning the opening pistol round. The Swedes went up 11-0 before the Brits could answer.

mousesports won round twelve, but a retake in the B bombsite led by Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund scored yet another round for SK who went on to win 14-1. Despite of a slow start in the second half, SK claimed a 16-8 win in the end thanks to a one-on-two clutch by Johan "face" Klasson.

Noobs will be noobs and pros will be pros. proved once again. Rattlesnk bot failed @ 1.6 pro level and went to CS:S and became God there. But playing against 1.6 players, he was again raped today.


I am sure all the CS:S noobs will jump to BF3 or COD in case CS 1.6 teams make switch to CS:GO cuz skillwise 1.6 players > any other FPS games.
2012-04-05 00:47:12
dude 3 times same lines :|
2012-04-05 00:50:18
Just want all the Sauce noobs to see that their god is a dog against 1.6 pros. xD
2012-04-05 00:55:48
Ahhh, Quake players will rape 1.6 players anyday, but besides that, yes! :)
2012-04-05 01:36:24
Quake doesnt have recoil. :S
2012-04-05 01:39:05
what are you talking about, did you even played quake before saying shit like that? these two games are totally different ^_^
2012-04-05 02:28:01
I liked Rattlesnk back in 2k7 when they were good @Dignitas... but UK players are ballet dancers in pyjamas and had to fuge to CSS

LOw
2012-04-06 16:15:27
you're all stupid...
if you looked on css teams(in tourney) there are no one from top :)
so teams like verygames could beat esc and sk :)
team like targetdown take 10 rounds from esc...
these guys lose to mTw 16-01 on de_nuke.
you need to start learn guys...
whatever, 1.6 players, playing cs for 14 years? and still can be beat by top teams from css on cs;go :) sad

Assumptions but no facts? 1.6 > CS:S in this tournament, never seen the other way around, just assumptions everywhere, but no facts ;)
