SK (Counter) Terrorise MYM

ImageSK Gaming has reached the top 3 phase of the Extreme Masters LA tournament having beaten Meet Your Makers in a very one-sided match. They go on to face Team EG in the lower bracket final.



A 16-2 score in favour of the Swedes agains the double ESWC champions is a feat as impressive as it is surprising after SK narrowly beat GamePlay (former Roccat) in the previous round.

The match went completely wrong for MYM with SK winning both pistols and Jimmy 'allen' Allen and Kristoffer 'Tentpole' Nordlund playing an excellent game. A 13-2 first half as CT pretty much sealed it for SK. But with how this team has managed to give away sure wins this year, the fans were worried until the very end. It took SK Gaming three rounds as T in the second half to close it at 16-2.

Coming off a victory against the strong Polish team, SK Gaming will be facing Team EG. And it will not be a walk in the park, even though SK's game with EG was one sided in group play. The Americans already have the scalps of Fnatic and MYM in their collection.

A place in the final against Made in Brazil is at stake. The match is scheduled for 19:00 CET on Sunday. Follow it right here.
