ImageAfter SK qualified for the last 16 teams against "Vundabar" from the USA, they had to play against "IcoNs" to qualify for the quarter-final.

32 teams from Europe, Australia and North America will play the tourney in the brand new multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. A big challenge, because nobody had the chance to play the MW3 multiplayer before and a lot of well known teams are represented e.g. mythiX eSport , Optic Gaming and the UK team of apeX-eSports .UK. The first round was also played on the first day, where our Call of Duty team won against "Vundabar" 3:1.

On the second day our team had to face "IcoNs", also a team from the United States of America. It was a very hard match, which demanded the best performance level from our guys, but in the end the concentration wasn't high enough and after some mistakes in the last seconds of 2 maps, DE SK Gaming lost the match with 3:1.

The event was a good view on the upcoming MW3 and the team has got the skill to play under the top teams of the world.

Overview of the prizemoney and winners:

1st place: $400,000 - Optic Gaming
2nd place: $200,000 - Infinity
3rd place: $150,000 - icons
4th place: $100,000 - infused
5th place: $ 75,000 - apex
6th place: $ 50,000 - obey
7th place: $ 35,000 - Team MoB
8th place: $ 25,000 - mythix

Therefore we have got 4 European team in the top 8, which is a very good achievement for the European Call of Duty scene, which is, in contrast to the American console scene, very small.

All the results you'll find here: Call of Duty XP - L.A. 2011
