AGAiN may have won two maps out of the three, however, they were definitly put to the test by H2k Gaming who proved to be a handfull for the Polish. AGAiN managed to win the first map after a very shakey start. Onto the second map, H2k simply dominated the first half as Counter-Terrorist, this high score advantage proved too much for AGAiN to bring it back in time. Onto the third map, AGAiN put their A game on the table with no comeback from H2k Gaming. AGAiN now moves on to the quarter final where they are soon to meet Power Gaming from Finland.

H2k Gaming 12-16 AGAiN ( inferno - 9-5, 3-10 )


First half

The action started directly on the first round. H2k managed to push into B without any resistance from AGAiN who were all gathering at CT spawn ready to attack the bomb site. They managed to this successfuly as they pick off 3 H2k members putting them in 5v2 situation. However, Abdisamad 'SpawN' Mohamed managed to pick off one member from AGAiN and then dying. This is where Jim 'zneel' Andersson came in action and managed a 1v4 clutch as he picks them off in B site from the Banana entrance. Directly put in the right mood, H2k manages then to continue picking up rounds. To be mentioned is, if you're watching a replay, Filip 'NEO' Kubski's 3 man kill from top of Banana boxes to T ramp while using only 5 bullets of his colt, if not less - on the 8th round. This ended the first half 9-6 in favour of H2k. The rounds won by AGAiN were mostly thanks to Neo and Jakub 'kuben' Gurczynski's aggressive pushes from Banana to arrive against an unsuspecting H2k.


Second half

H2k manages to win the pistol round, mostly thanks to Emil 'FYRR73' Karlsson and his 3 man kill as he hides in A site waiting for the Bomb. However, on the second round some important kills were made by AGAiN as they pick up a few weapons and manage to win the eco. From there on it was downhill for H2k. Lukasz 'LUq' Wnek was seen a couple of times with an AWP, picking up early kills which helped the team. Both teams played to their potential but AGAiN's team-play seemed to be that little bit better, enough for them to win most on the round as T side, ending the second half 3-10.



H2k Gaming 16-09 AGAiN ( nuke - 13-2, 3-7 )


First half

What a map for H2k! Once again, H2k manages to take the pistol thanks to yet again a 3man but this time from zneel who will be of big importance to the entire game. If you're watching the replay, look at from the 3rd to the 5th round as SpawN is playing extremely aggressive on Ramp (CT side). Thanks to his perfect timing he manages to get 1 to 4 kills per round using this tactic. H2k looking very strong, AGAiN only managed to pick up a round on the 7th round of the first half, mostly again, thanks to Neo sitting on rafters on top of main, protecting the bomb as he picks off the last 2 remaining CT players. This, until the last round, will be the only round AGAiN manages to pick up in this half. I call this particular game the "3man game" as you will see, both teams exange 3 to 4 man kills on multiple rounds. A beautiful play by zneel again on the 10th round as he manages to pick off two terrorist through the wall from Yellow into ramp. The next round was followed, yet again, by a 3man this time from Björn 'threat' Pers. AGAiN then picks off the last round and loses the half with a weak 2-13


Second half

Thankfully for AGAiN, they managed to take the pistol round and the following 3 round. Yet AGAiN a 3 man on the 4th round (see what I did there?) by Neo on top of the ladder as he hits all the shots to the Terrorist coming out of Yellow. H2k only managed to reply on the 6th round (mainly thanks to SpawN) as they try to plant on Lower. Here we go again, another 4man by Wiktor 'TaZ' Wojtas on the 8th round which was quickly replied to by zneel on the 9th round and his 3man, winning the important match point.



H2k Gaming 7-16 AGAiN ( dust2 - 6-9, 1-7 )


First half

AGAiN wins the pistol in this one and the following round. However, both teams kept exchanging rounds from there on. AGAiN, much like on inferno, as CT played extremely aggressive, in particular Mariusz 'Loord' Cybulski on Catwalk(short). This is what made H2k slow down their game on the 9th round in the hopes of catching early pushes, however, Wiktor 'TaZ' Wojtas's 4man on the following round didn't help.


Second half

There is nothing much to be said about the next half as AGAiN simply had a wonderful side as Terrorist which H2k simply weren't able to counter. The second half ended very swiftly as the Swedes only managed to pick up one round.
