The most interesting match of Group A quickly became Electronic Sahara vs. SK Gaming , with the pistol round being kill for kill between sides it was unclear who originally was going to take it. Electronic Sahara managed to get the bomb down but still managed to lose the round with Christopher 'GeT_RiGhT' Alesund picking up the last frags as well as the defuse. The rest of the first half seemed to be exchanging of rounds, showing Electronic Sahara picking up their pace after originally being 0-3 down, ending the first half 8-7 in favour of the French, with some impressive play from Michael 'HaRts' Zanatta with use of the Autosniper.

Second half saw SK Gaming pick up the second pistol round of the map, once again going 3-0 up, but second half failed to see the same aggressiveness from the French side as previously. This enabled SK to start dominating the second half, enabling Patrik 'f0rest' Lindberg to gain an impressive 21-3 score at match end, after Electronic Sahara's poor CT side giving them only a mere three rounds, which ended de_nuke 16-11 in favour of SK Gaming.



The next opponent for the Swedes were Danish side Anexis eSports , on de_mirage, a map which Anexis previously have played well on, defeating Moscow Five on it recently at BEAT IT Russia. Anexis eSports would have also been in a good position mentally, with their last game vs. Coldgame being an easy 16-0 win on de_train. Once again, SK Gaming had no problem securing the pistol round win, only losing a mere two men in the process. For the second round, Anexis eSports decided to take a Deco round, which paid off as not only did they manage to pick off three men from SK Gaming, but also managed to get the bomb down, putting them in a slightly better financial situation. The third round saw Anexis one again taking another risky move, buying up with Galil's which became a winning round for the Danes. However, SK Gaming quickly managed to pick it up, only giving them two more rounds in the first half ending it on 11-4 in favour of the Swedes. Second half saw SK dominating once again, after winning the pistol round SK had no issues storm trooping over the Danes, forcing them to Eco at 14-4, giving SK Gaming the easy match point. The last final round saw the Swedes gain easy access into bomb site B, and after planting the bomb, Anexis found it too hard to take the retake, ending the map 16-4 in favour of SK.



This has placed SK Gaming as the winner of Group A, followed by Anexis eSports . Electronic Sahara have been forced out of the competition due to round difference, after losing nine rounds to Coldgame , compared to Anexis not losing a single one.
