SK Gaming secures a 3rd place in Kode5

ImageAfter losing their hard semi-final against the newly crowned Kode5 champions, mTw, SK Gaming overcame their long time rivals MeetYourMakers in a three map game.



The match started on Dust2 and during this game it seemed that SK still hasn’t woke up after their dramatically hard defeat versus the Danish mTw. Whilst the Poles seemed to be angry for losing out to Fnatic and wanted to pocket themselves a honorary third place and 5.000$. The first map ended 16:5, a clear victory for MYM.

But like many times before in this tournament, SK didn't lose their fighting spirit and believed that they can win the next two maps. And so the Swedes made a really huge comeback on the second map, Train, with a convincing score 16:6.

The last and final map for the third place decider was Inferno, a map where SK lost to the Kode5 winners with 5:16 and the same map where MYM were able to win Fnatic 16:14. But after starting with a huge moral boost from the previously won map and without making silly mistakes, SK walked over MeetYourMakers with a dominant score, 16:3.

With this victory SK Gaming placed third in the event and secured themselves a cheque with 5.000$. All tournament results can be found here.
