fnatic win Swedish Championship
By: Pus
Time: 2012-06-18 00:20
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

fnatic have been crowned Swedish champions after overcoming SK Gaming with a 2-1 scoreline.

In the first half of de_nuke, SK Gaming got off to a solid start, putting themselves ahead of fnatic by four rounds. Although the latter were able to catch up and even out the scores, SK eventually raced past them to seal the first half at 9-6.

Switching sides, SK Gaming claimed the pistol round, but fnatic were not ready to give up yet. Scoring three rounds back-to-back, fnatic grew closer. To fnatic's despair, however, Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström's SK kicked into higher gear and moved to the finish line, only allowing fnatic to get a their hands on one additional round, securing their first win at 16-10.

Continuing the encounter on de_dust2, both teams commenced by fighting head-to-head for the precious points, tying up at 6-6. Unlike their showdown on de_nuke, this time it would be fnatic's turn to go into the second half with the lead. (9-6) 

Switching sides for the second time, SK Gaming opened up by securing the first three rounds, effectively tying the two sides up once again, but to little avail. fnatic picked up speed and rushed ahead. However hard SK tried, it was not enough to stop fnatic from taking the match into a third map at 16-14.

With the third and final map being de_train, SK began by asserting their dominance in the opening rounds, claiming their usual three. This didn't discourage fnatic the least, with Richard "Xizt" Landström taking his squad up to a 8-3 lead.

fnatic were, however, not able to capitalize as much as they'd hoped to, with SK Gaming biting back to reduce their deficit. Going into the second half, fnatic were in the lead with a scoreline of 9-6.

Having gained a little confidence, fnatic were able to overpower SK Gaming in the opening rounds, collecting three rounds. However, history repeated itself and SK Gaming followed close behind, claiming three rounds as well.

Ultimately, fnatic got the better of SK Gaming, snatching enough rounds to post a 2-1 victory at 16-9.

Donkey.
2012-06-18 03:00:31
Yes, because they're a great team. There is a reason why I like them, and that is because I think they are awezome. So where are you going with this?

I wish I could've done more with the article, but I became very out of synch with the moving around and the 100s of people walking into the DreamArena all the god damn time. Ask Tgwri1s, I've complained my fair share about it.

So apologies for that, it's a boring-ass recap. We'll get it better for tomorrow's final!
2012-06-18 00:29:42
Tgwri1s with you at dreamhack? Say hello from Lithuanian esports, he should understand. :D
2012-06-18 00:32:29
xD xD speed of article coming up doesnt matter bro... for the ppl who are online and watched the match, this article is not needed.. the ones who read this sometime later are the ones who need to grasp what happened... so take that 'sometime' and write the epicest match summaries in human history :P :P

who MVP??
for me Karrigan / Xizt
2012-06-18 00:27:30
all fnatic members deserves MVP imo!
especially the Danes: friisha & KARRiGAN
2012-06-18 00:30:13
MVP of Swedish Championship? Friis imo.
2012-06-18 00:34:11
for me it was MODDI and Gux (he didn't perform well on D2 , but this guy took all the important shots! I was like WOW!)
2012-06-18 00:35:48
finally fnatic won vs sk !!
GG!
2012-06-18 00:27:38
wow fnatic really strong atm
2012-06-18 00:27:39
GRATZ !
2012-06-18 00:27:44
Fnatic performed really well on Train. They could have lost the match on D2 due to foolishness and loss of consentration. Hopefully that didn't happen. When Train was the desider map , I thought that it would be an easy win for SK. Instead , fnatic were really powerfull as playing a great T-side strategy with "holds" and slow advances.


Deserved 100%
2012-06-18 00:27:53
ANYBODY FEELS THE SK WILL HAVE A CHANGE?

2012-06-18 00:27:57

I think you misunderstood here bro :)
2012-06-18 16:52:01
Yeah I know what you meant to say, but as I said not all the credit for that win should go to Xizt, since carn obviously was of a great help there
2012-06-18 17:08:28
Nah, I mean it's like SK habit to steal fnatic players.
2012-06-18 17:44:28
Today, for a long time waiting this moment ... Since f0rest and gtr left BLACK'n'ORANGE colors, make some trouble, going to rival SK i was waiting this moment...

TODAY finally i can say FNATIC WELCOME BACK to SWEDEN TOP1 AGAIN

tks so much:
KARRiGAN
Friis
Gux
MODDII
Xizt
CARN (coach)

was hard,was sweaty, was a BIG battle but you guys bring a lot of proud and honor again to FNATIC'S FLAG

They actually did play very well but you can't start doing it when the opposing team is just a couple of steps aways from the map/overall win.

The thing that surprises me is that it happened during two map in a row, the ones they lost.
2012-06-18 23:04:24
They lost a lot of rounds at the beginning of the match, that's the **** problem !
2012-06-20 15:44:03

WP fnatic...crazy game by karrigan and friis!
Carn certainly did his share part especially in the 3rd map :)

SK should learn from Na`Vi...either go in with all you have into the tournament or don't even participate!
