mouz defeat SK in thriller match

26-8-2008 14:36

Four teams remain in the ESWC 2008 tournament in San Jose, USA.

Only four teams remain. SK, mTw, emuLate and Alternate were defeated, but none of the teams went down without a fight, all three matches ended 2:1, and mousesports looked like sure losers at the side change on inferno. They however pulled up an enormous comeback, and won 16:14 on inferno.

Best of 3

In the last quarter-final, MYM managed to overcome emuLate on the last map, with a very confident 16:1 win on de_nuke. The Polish team will now be up against mousesports, who sent the Poles home at ESWC Masters.

This leaves us with the following matchups for the coming semi-finals at ESWC 2008.

Fnatic and e-STRO met not long ago at e-Stars in Seoul where fnatic won in overtime. This time however it is best of three maps, and e-STRO has lost their home field advantage. In the other match MYM is facing mousesports, last the two teams met was at ESWC Masters where mousesports beat the Polish powerhouse 17:13, but again this is best of three maps, and with mousesports only barely beating SK they will need to bring their a game to beat always strong MYM.

mouz didn't deserve the win AT all.. SK need to drop spawn or walle and bring in some new faces if they want to actually WIN tournaments.

You can't say they didn't deserve it at all - they did well to come back. However, I agree that SK need to change something to start winning :]

2008-08-26 23:45

If they want to win, they should pick up another Tentpoles. SK 2009: allen, walle, RobbaN, Tentpole1 and Tentpole2.

what a pity to lose this match for sk, maybe sk need to have sth to change

2008-08-26 23:49

zet or snajdan for spawn imo :)

2008-08-26 23:54

have u watched them playin'?

2008-08-27 00:15

snajdan isn't 2 good lately, id say maybe bring in a fresh player like Gux/GeT_RiGhT/threat.

2008-08-26 23:57

mouz did superb, they are good at comebacks. Also SK needs some changes.

2008-08-26 23:59

Sorry #1 but after a poor performance on train and dust2 mousesports did deserve the win after that comeback. I wanted SK to win as they never win at ESWC but I'm glad that mousesports won because they are kinda the underdogs. I agree with the comments about SK's lineup it needs to change if they want results. Bring HeatoN back? :D

2008-08-27 00:00

HeatoN is manager at Stockholm Magnetiks (or something like that),a Counter-Strike:Source team

2008-08-27 00:06

in the CGS ;D

SK lost cuz of walle, they should consider cutting him from the team.

walle is old school...hope he will recover at DreamHack

2008-08-27 00:10

but recently he has been performing like an headless chicken, seriously. He is preventing the team from having success atm.

really..i don't know man...haven't watched any of SK's matches at ESWC...but if he is bad..then BDS should replace him...but, he knows best :-)

2008-08-27 00:13

with the loss of weight he also lost his skill and gamesense. The skinnier he gets the worse he is doing.

2008-08-27 00:16

if you're right (and i hope not)....that's some shit...nowadays he used to own with the awp...maybe he'll retire, like KK (another very good awp in his days)

2008-08-27 00:19

whoooooooot ? GeT_RiGhT is lame ... no offence... and SK needs JAEGARN/threat/kvicken....trust me! edit: does anybody know what mouse walle uses?

2008-08-27 00:08

yea guys trust troubledaking he knows everything...i wonder why sk doesnt trust you and pick JAEGARN/threat/kvicken

and you are ? please watch some competitive (swedish) cs...and then we'll talk

rofl guy you are owning...first you said this :"whoooooooot ? GeT_RiGhT is lame ... no offence... and SK needs JAEGARN/threat/kvicken....trust me!" but than you said :"eally..i don't know man...haven't watched any of SK's matches at ESWC...but if he is bad.." wtf? you werent watched the SK matches but you know that they need change? because of some dissaponting results? yea maybe they arent in shape now but its not reason to drop some player ;) you arent watching like they are playing but you know they need new man..wow you are like Teodora ofc is nice that you are against racism

2008-08-27 00:50

JAEGARN and threat are complete shitters when it comes to CS compared to anyone in SK. Yes at the moment things seem dark or SK even though they did deliver a good terr half on de_inferno against mouz their CT side was one of the worst iv ever seen. And thats because of one reason - SpawN and Walles individual skills are shot it seems. Walle seems to be using the AK47 more and more instead of using the awp. And finally when he did use the awp vs mouz, he lost an entire round just cause he could shoot a guy standing still in the back. But SK has a motto and that is that friendship and team chemistry > skill.. p.s. sorry for the long reply :E

2008-08-27 09:23

mouz gob b ;) yeah

2008-08-27 00:07

:(( go e-STRO

2008-08-27 01:05

mouz got owned by MYM in the semifinal. I'm a fan of mouz but I must admit that MYM deserved it.

2008-08-27 01:15

SpawN needs to take matches more serious, he's been playing since YEARS! a match/tournament like this, is like a pub for him. IMO, he doesn't want to try harder to win. I've seen him playing 100% and he's like a "one-man team" He better starts playing better, or SK Gaming should look for another younger player

2008-08-27 04:36

SK seriously needs a roster change...Kick spawn n walle...both nw totally suck at awp... walle was missing ez shots... allen & tentpole cant handle da responsibility of da whole team..

2008-08-27 08:03

i think fnatic plays really great just as MYM. hopefully those 2 can make it to final! i be watching

2008-08-27 08:44

Finally someone that talks sense, ul that fnatic lost vs estro, like wtf everything is unexpected :S thought mouz would be up vs fnatic in the finals! Did expect mYm to beat estro but still....
