The quarter finals have finally been completed with an easy win over k23 by eSTRO, placing them in the semi finals. SK Gaming had a bit more trouble with GamePlay, with the game spanning over three maps with one being overtime.

Starting on de_train, SK Gaming didn't have much difficulty with GamePlay, beating them with 16-11. It continued to look great for SK on de_inferno being up 12-3 and winning the important 4th round in the second half leading with 15-6 over GamePlay. Still they were not able to get that last round again while GamePlay put up a great fight, getting all of the remaining rounds as well as the overtime, winning with 19-15 in the end.

After a short break the third and deciding map, de_dust2, was played which SK hadn't looked good on earlier today against Just. GamePlay also had a good first half, starting as Counter-Terrorists and got 7 rounds which is quite good on this map. SK had a great comeback in the second half and it was going back and forth for some time until SK took down GamePlay with 16-13, allowing them to face eSTRO in the semi finals.

CBTEAM beat Gravitas Gaming on three maps, where it looked pretty easy for CBTEAM on the first map, winning de_dust2 with 16-5. The second map was dominated by Gravitas Gaming going up with 14-1 after the first half on de_train and CBTEAM coming back with 11-1 until Gravitas finally took the last round, winning 16-12. The third and final map was de_inferno which was in favor of CBTEAM, winning with 16-8, pitting them against mTw in the semi finals.
