Today's emotions began with the last quarter-final, in which SK Gaming and Fnatic performed. SK Gaming turned out to be better after an incredibly tight match.
Inferno
The Swedes started this meeting with a successful attack and won a pistol round. The Brazilians surprised their opponents during their force, but Fnatic replied beautifully for the next round. Thus they were able to get on the lead at the beginning of the match. SK also fell during the first full house, but the high bonus for the losing round allowed again to be well equipped. Only on the second attempt they managed to bounce back from the bottom, mainly thanks to Coldzera's great position and TACO. The next point on their account can be attributed to FalleN, who, alone in the B bomb area, eliminated two of the three opponents. Because of this, KRiMZ did not cope with one in two. Then the Swedes took over again and increased their lead to the point that they guaranteed their winnings in the first half. FalleN and the company giving their all, they scored only six points on the side of anti-terrorists.
SK Gaming won the second pistol round, giving each other a chance to level the score. However, they squandered it during a failed attack on the B bomb area. Brazilians decided to buy guns in the next round and try this attack again. It ended with a fiasco again, but the bomb laid down was a minimal plan. Thanks to that, they were able to fully equip themselves. From that moment SK began to slowly return to the meeting, and the advantage of fnatic diminished. With the result 10:14 the Swedes decided to take a tactical break. They managed to break the bad streak, but the map was still to be closed. Golden's composition was many times close to winning the Inferno location, but each time SK turned out a little better. At the result of 14:15 we saw again the tactical break managed by Fnatic. Even so, we saw extra time on the first map.
The added time of the game began better for the Swedes, because the flush was able to climb to the heights of its capabilities and alone defended the bomb space against three opponents. Before changing sides both teams scored after point to their account. Fnatic opened the second half overtime again. However, later SK again came to the fore and led to the second extra time. In it Fnatic won after an equally fierce fight.
overpass
The beginning of the meeting was extremely chaotic. SK Gaming thanks to a great coldzera play won a pistol round, but fnatic managed to answer in the next round. Then the Brazilians, with their own pistols, proved to be better again, but again they were unable to get the second point in a row. The situation was normalized only in the seventh round and in favor of SK Gaming. The Swedes only began to make up for their losses when they got out of financial problems. They managed to get to the lead thanks to ... TACO, who delayed the elimination of opponents for too long, thanks to which they discovered his position. Nevertheless, the FalleNa team kept their cool and was able to win the first half with a score of 9: 6.
The second pistol round was won by Fnatic. The Swedes had the opportunity to lead to the result, but again they did not cope with the force opponents. SK began to stride toward victory. They worked out a five-point advantage of 13: 7, after which Fnatic woke up. They did not give up and successively shortened the distance to opponents. The eleventh point on the Swedes' account was provided by KRiMZ, who dealt incredibly in the situation of one out of two. This allowed them to adjust the result later. SK could not take away the lead and the players won this round with only their pistols. Finally, the Brazilians closed this meeting at the last possible moment.
Mirage
The Brazilians won the penultimate pistol round of this match, but thanks to a bomb-mounted Fnatic could have equipped themselves with better equipment earlier. It was a very good decision, because thanks to her they could make up for small losses and get 3: 6 lead. The FalleNa team after the stabilization of the economy was able to draw, but the Swedes did not let them take over. The fight for a better position lasted until the very end of the first half. The Swedish team took the lead by guaranteeing a 7: 8 result.
The last pistol round fell on the SK Gaming players account. The Brazilians also won the next round, but Fnatic answered with only the basic guns. They managed to get another three points, earning themselves a huge advantage. However, victories do not come so easily. FalleN and the company have once again made an amazing return. This time he led to the ELEAGUE Major Boston semi-final in 2018.
