In this first game of the playoffs, SK-Gaming will have to prove again that they can keep up their winning streak, and MeetYourMakers wants to show that they are still a top tier team.

MeetYourMakers, who lost against Evil Geniuses yesterday, have a must win game against the favourites, SK-Gaming.

It might be a mental struggle for them to see the Swedish guys before the final of the tournament. Both 'h4nn1' and 'LevenT-' stated that they would really give their best to win their last match of the group stage, even if they were already qualified for the play offs just to hide from SK-Gaming as long as possible.

SK-Gaming, stated to be the best team of the tournament by both team EG and MYM, stated that they are pretty confident to win the game, but they don't like the best of one system with no chance to come back through a lower bracket. So they know that any kind of mistake during the game can cost the chance of winning the ESWC Master of Paris, and with this knowledge they decided to play it safe.

SK|Loda:

We are aware of MeetYourMakers experience, they still might have some tricks up their sleeve. But we are sure that we will make it into the final, we are the stronger team when it comes to offline matches and MeetYourMakers is not in the same shape as they were a few month ago.
