ESC go through; SK knocked out
Time: 2012-06-17 13:40
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

SK Gaming and ESC Gaming met in the last match of Group A, but instead of just deciding the first place as it was expected, they were fighting for the remaining playoff spot. The Poles ended up securing their place in the semi-final after a 16-12 win, while SK is knocked out of the tournament after only getting 1 point in three matches.

The Swedish and Polish giants SK Gaming and ESC Gaming had numerous battles this year, including many on de_train, so this Group A decider was set to be added to their collection of classics.

ESC Gaming got off on the harder side, as Terrorists, but they quickly built up a lead, which they kept through the most of the half.

SK's last chance to get at least a decent score before the sides changed fell through due to miscommunication in a 2-on-1 situation when they ended up not defusing the bomb, letting ESC take a 9-4 lead. Following an eco round by SK, the Swedes won the 15th round for a 10-5 deficit, with things not looking good for their tournament chances.

Things looked even worse for SK when Filip "Neo" Kubski pulled off one of his trademark pistol rounds with 4 kills, increasing ESC's lead. The Swedes still wanted to stay in the game and they did so by winning four of the next six rounds after an eco, making the score 14-9 in favor of ESC.

But then the Poles took their 15th round which meant they would certainly go through as 2nd placed in Group A, and even though SK still didn't give up, they eventually lost 16-12 and finished their tournament with a loss.

Virtus.pro surprisingly topped Group A with 7 points and they will play against Group B's 2nd placed team tomorrow at 10:00.

ESC Gaming ended up 2nd in Group A with 6 points and they will be facing off against Group B's first placed team tomorrow at the 10:00 in the semi-final of DreamHack Summer 2012.

SK Gaming only managed to get 1 point in three matches and they are out of the tournament after group stage just for the second time since Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund and Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg joined the team (first time was their first tournament in SK, IEM5 European Finals in January 2011).

2012-06-17 13:41:00
Swedish Championship which has more money for the 1st prize than DreamHack. There you go the stupidity in #30. Why would they save strats where the only real opponent there is fnatic

Since when is SK going to firecore? GeT_RiGhT is going with a mix team..
2012-06-17 15:08:56
my mistake.
2012-06-17 15:35:56
A gut feeling tells me SK Gaming will close the 1.6 division soon.

2012-06-17 13:45:52
CS:GO not fnatic.
2012-06-17 13:47:28
Think they'd switch the 1.6 division to CS:GO or close it once and for all?
2012-06-17 13:48:42

2012-06-17 13:48:57
+1.
2012-06-17 13:50:44
Also add in: "SK-gaming scores Valve sponsorship!"

Once the game has flopped after a year or so they'll withdraw the sponsorship and pump retards up on CS2 (read: Source 2), claiming that CS:GO was just a console venture and they never intended it to replace 1.6/Source.

Gosh, it's a sad era. Valve used to be one of my favourite game developers but I've lost all respect for them due to their involvement (or more crucially - lack of thereof) in the entire CS saga.
2012-06-17 13:55:04
Let us hope you are mistaken. I'd hate to see this lovely game go to waste.

People are idiots and obviously they did not watch the match. GTR played well on Ct-side f0rest played poorly on the ct side. Delpan played pretty well this match look at the stats, look at his rating. F0rest played well against VP and winfakt but not against ESC when he needed to. SK has to play more like a team and not rely on individual performances.

2012-06-17 14:03:20
And that's why robban need to step down. This is why robban is not or never will on the same level as carn. He doesn't have what it takes to lead "the stars" on his team. As far as they keep robban, inconsistency is what they got.

it seems like SK is focusing more on swedish championship which has more prize money for first place than DH where they facing fnatic in finals most probably and thay have psychological advantage on them in train against esc they have same strat in t side where robban always goes for distraction.
