CS:GO
The First Match
Starting from the beginning the groups were drawn and we got a hard group with some really strong teams. Our first match was against
Natus Vincere. SK played well but it just wasn't enough as they lost 16 - 8 on de_overpass. Our group continued and 
Titan won over 
Luminosity Gaming with 16 - 7; with the same result Na´Vi won against LG.
SK vs Luminosity
The match against Luminosity Gaming was held on de_cbble which is considered our strongest map. We started on the CT side and played good there but only got a 9 - 6 score after the first half. In the second half SK quickly accumulated the remaining 7 rounds they needed for the win. Final score: 16 - 11.
Now or Never
The match against Titan was the most important game. If SK won, they were going to qualify for the playoffs. The maps were drawn and the match was going to be played on de_cobblestone. SK started on CT side and had a great start against Titan. The score after the first half was 12 - 3. This could be enough to win the map but after the patch cbble is still a CT side map so there was a chance that Titan could do a comeback. Fortunately, it didn't happen and we took over the French team with 16 - 8, claiming our spot in the playoffs!
Na´Vi winning against Titan with 16 - 2 on de_mirage was another important event that helped us reach playoffs.
The Playoffs
In the playoff we had to face EnVyUs, who despite not having the best results lately are still considered a top 3 team in the world. The maps for the best of 3 were drawn and they were going to be de_train, de_cache and de_cbble.
We moved into the first game on de_train but didn't perform well on it. EnVy started on the T side and dominated it with a score of 12 - 3. The second half was short as they took 4 more rounds and closed it out 16 - 6.
Both teams played really well on de_cache. After the first half EnVy had secured a small lead with 9 - 6 after a good comeback from SK. The second half was a comeback after comeback with EnVy winning a few rounds in a row and SK following suit. It was a very exciting and really close game but we lost 16 - 13, which meant we were out of the tournament.
Overall, a solid performance by our CS:GO team as they managed to surprise many by reaching the playoffs and giving EnVy a run for their money there. We can't wait to see them at their next offline event!
