ESC, FlipSid3 survive at DreamHack

ESC Gaming had a lengthy break coming into their second match at DreamHack as they had played the group's opener, where they were defeated by LDLC 4-16.

Against Planetkey Dynamics they started off very well on de_mirage's terrorist side - the much harder half of the two - and managed to score nine rounds.

Heavily favored to then close out the match and survive elimination in Jönköping, ESC were able to close the game out 16-13 after a struggle-filled 7-7 defensive half.

In the second match Last Call qualifier runner-ups FlipSid3 Tactics took on Danish myXMG, also on the same map as the other match - de_mirage, as drawn randomly after vetos.

Despite a lackluster defensive half with only seven round wins, the Swedes mounted an impressive comeback, culminating in nine round wins for a 16-11 scoreline.
