SE SK Gaming began the upper-bracket final as counter-terrorists on de_dust2 and won the fist pistol round with a bomb defuse on A bombsite while the Poles were preoccupied in CT spawn. After losing the first round, FX bounced back and quickly shut down the Swedes with their AKs, putting SK on the back-heel for the following round. From there, FX marched into a huge 9:2 lead with none of the Swedes being able to reply to the Poles aggressive play and PL Jarosław 'pasha' Jarząbkowski's killing streaks. Towards the end of the first half however, when SE Marcus 'Delpan' Larsson managed to grab hold of an AWP his presence was clearly felt. With delpan hitting some crucial shots and winning important confrontations and clutches, SK managed to take the next four rounds to bring the score to 9:6 going into the second half.

Going into the second half SK had a huge mountain to climb if they were to maintain their winning streak, however it was not to be. FX continued to play in an aggressive manor on the Counter-terrorist side and with PL Filip 'NEO' Kubski out for blood, none of the Swedes had any answers. Although delpan managed to continue his in-game presence, FX in the end overwhelmed the Swedes and as a result have progressed to the Grand Finals.

So what's next for SK?

SE SK Gaming will now face off against the winner of the UA Natus Vincere - DK mTw match in the consolidation final. The winner of that match will face off against the Poles on de_tuscan and de_inferno if they happen to win the first map.

FX celebrate their win:
