SK Gaming tactician Robert 'RobbaN' Dahlström said the Russian MeetYourMakers side could have ghosted during their group stage matchEarlier today the SK Gaming side played their first group game of the day against Meet Your Makers ru. The game would see the Russians surprise everyone, pulling off a 16-3 win against the highly favoured Swedish team.
But in a statement with Fragbite.se, SK Gaming tactician Robert 'RobbaN' Dahlström has made it clear that it was possible MYM.ru ghosted during some of the first half of the game.
Statement from Robert 'RobbaN' Dahlström to Fragbite.se:
The two teams were sat three rows apart, but simply raising their heads would allow the MYM.ru players to see the SK Gaming 's monitors.

Statement from Robert 'RobbaN' Dahlström to Fragbite.se:
"I won't whine about why we lost, but they were able to spectate our monitors the first eight rounds, before we called the timeout (8-1 for mym). During the timeout, they [organisers] set up some posters in between our rows, so they were not able to see our monitors any more."

Though i understand for robban that the thought of it might be hanging over him like a shadow during the game, but the board quickly resolved that issue on the 7th round and it didnt actually change the course of the game did it?
And the whole "SK didnt take any rounds after the admins put up the posters argument is just baaad"
Let me explain something about Counter Strike to you.
When a team get´s a 8-1 lead as CT on Inferno it gives the leading team a huge momentum and a great load of stash, so even if SK would have won the first round after the "timeout" it still wouldnt have bothered the russians that much because they still have a huge stash and can do full buys for another 2-3 lost rounds, and for SK, a lost round after the timeout would mean two eco rounds wich would result in a 11-1 result, so frankly speaking the match was more or less already over when they called the timeout, its not often u see a team break the cycle of "momentum" and it´s even more rare to see it as Terrorist on de_inferno, if Counter-Terrorist locks down the Terrorist it´s almost impossible to find an opening , just look at Na´Vi, i dont think they have ever lost a match on inferno when they´ve gotten their momentum up.
So that pretty much sums it up.
No one knows for sure if MYM were even watching the SK players screens! In my opinion (as a swede, cheering for our teams) think they didn't. As binteh said; 20+ people were standing behind/around them during the entire game and it would be rather unwise by the MYM players to actually ghost in that situation. Very unwise even, considering the risks that would put them in.
Let me explain something about Conter-Strike to you:
A professional team NEVER eco more than once as Terrorists, apart from the two rounds after a lost pistol-round (these days they normally drop AKs even, depending on the kills they get away with). But thats just a fun fact in this discussion. :)))
Btw. What you said only sums up your own thoughts, not the situation itself.
The fact that they beat fnatics old record from 2009 (who were then considered the same title) in the "all times money record" with about 30 000$ and winning almost everything they participated in would make Na Vi "one of the most dominating teams ever", whether you like it or not :(
MYM vs SK.. I think that MYM ghosted. Look at 1.10. On the pistol round. He just rushing on GT......
