In tonight's final match at GameGune 2012, zNation has knocked out ENTiTY at 9-12th place in a back and forth 2-1 series (19-16 de_tuscan, 3-16 de_nuke, 16-9 de_train).

Opening map of the series was de_tuscan where zNation started off with a nine round counter-terrorist half following a succesful pistol round. After switching sides, ENTiTY continued where they left off at the end of the previous half, winning seven straight rounds to go up 13-9. 

Rounds were traded from there on out until the score reached 15-13 in favor of the Macedonians, and Nikita "wAke" Totskiy was left in a one-on-three situation. That was the closest ENTiTY came to winning though, as Totskiy won the round and his team made it into overtime where they won quickly with a 4-1 score, 19-16 overall.

zNation continue their lower bracket run at GameGune 

Tables turned after switching maps as the Macedonian side was dominant, going up five to nil before zNation could reply and then scoring six more rounds for a 11-1 lead. The Russians fought back by winning two of the remaining rounds that half, but that proved to make little difference as ENTiTY won de_nuke 16-3 with Semih "osama" Kamal leading the way with a 22/7 score.

ENTiTY was given a chance to run away with the series on de_train after winning their terrorist pistol round and going up 3-0, but strong defense led by zNation's AWPer Anatoliy "liTTle" Yashin and his 25/12 score only allowed their opponents one more round before half at 11-4.

The Macedonians gave it their all in the second half with Jovan "N1GHTMARE" Derebanoski almost single handedly winning the pistol round for his team with four USP kills, but ultimately zNation was too strong and closed out the series with a convincing 16-9 win on the final map.
