SK and Nihilum clashed for the third time today, this time in the grand final of ESL’s Extreme Masters Global Challenge where Nihilum won the first set 3-2 and the second set 3-1.One very exciting final in the ESL’s Extreme Masters Global Challenge in Leipzig, Germany with both teams trading the match point until Nihilum were able to win the second set winning the grand final taking home $15,000. SK Gaming takes second place winning $6,000 and together with Nihilum qualifies for the Extreme Masters global finals.
Five quick matches on Blade’s Edge Arena which went in favour of Nihilum where they were able to score a quick kill on Xom in the first match and were able to draw the last two games out long enough for Orly to run out of mana to score a kill on one of the SK Gaming players. The second set went in favour of Nihilum that drew the games out long enough to capitalize on the fact of running Orly out of mana to score a kill on one of the SK Gaming players.
Match rundown
Game one on Blade’s Edge Arena went in Nihilum’s favour as they managed to land a kill on Xom when a well placed Death Coil took Xom out of place.
Game two on Blade’s Edge Arena went in favour of SK who were able to put pressure on Paperkat and land a kill.
Game three on Blade’s Edge Arena went in favour of SK as they made a swap to Inflame and a well timed Counterspell on Carekoala they put him behind on healing and couldn’t recover from the damage.
Game four on Blade’s Edge Arena was a longer drawn out fight as Nihilum were able to capitalize on the long match and land a kill on Orly.
Game five on Blade’s Edge Arena went in favour of Nihilum as they drew the game out until Orly was out of mana and capitalized on that scoring a kill on Xom, thus winning the first set 3-2.

Game six on Ruins of Lordaeron was a very close call as SK almost had Inflame down but the long match put Orly low on mana so he couldn’t keep Xom alive.
Game seven on Blade’s Edge Arena went in favour of SK as they were able to score a kill on Paperkat, but Nihilum decided to try and fight the 2v3 as Orly was low on mana but they were able to score a kill on Carekoala.
Game eight on Ruins of Lordaeron went in favour of Nihilum with very well done CC’s on Orly and they were able to score a kill on Xom.

Would be a true shame if these 3 movies from youtube would be all.
As SK Gaming and Nihilum are from Europe they cannot qualify directly from a Global Challenge and these slots get added to the Continental Final Europe which will be played in February in Hamburg. The same would apply if a team from Asia or North America wins as those continents have Continental Finals. Of the 12 slots in total 6 get distributed 2 each to the Continental Finals of the Americas, Asia and Europe. Depending on the performance at the Global Challenges the remaining 6 slots get distributed.
Because SK and Nihilum finished top 2 at the Global Challenge in Leipzig the top 4 WoW teams from the Continental Finals Europe will go to the Global Finals. Next two Global Challenges will be in the USA (moved after Digital Life was cancled) and Canada (Montreal October 17th-19th).
Give the guys credit for their amazing team spirit rather than whining about who carries who tbh ..
gj boys
should be available on Tuesday evening
