After much delay the first semi final match could kick off, seeing SK Gaming taking on Begrip.
The match should start on inferno, where Begrip took 3-0 lead as they won the pistol-round. SK Gaming went to lose the first buy round, followed by the next round, building up a 5-0 lead for Begrip. SK Gaming kept doing the same A bombsite attack, which was shut down every time by Begrip. Especially Begrip’s Faruk "pita" Pita played outstanding, making it tough for SK Gaming to enter the bombsites. SK Gaming gained their first round as Marcus "zet" Sundström won a 1v1. SK Gaming gained a few rounds in the end, seeing Begrip winning 10-5.
A very defensive Begrip as T and a very offensive SK Gaming as CT, made a very intense pistol-round, seeing SK Gaming pulling out victorious. Begrip then however went to buy in the second round, entering the B bombsite, to win the round. From this point on, Begrip took the remaining rounds needed, to win 16-6 on inferno.
zneel defeated by his former team-mates.
SK Gaming then picked train to be the next map. They went to take the pistol-round as CT, but Begrip surprised SK Gaming in the third round, by taking the round, just armed with glocks. Begrip kept taking rounds, but SK Gaming followed and the match was very even. Begrip went to an 8-7 lead when switching sides. Begrip continued their dominance as CT, and once again Faruk "pita" Pita and Andreas "moddii" Fridh played strong, securing a 16-9 win on train, 2-0 overall.
This was in fact the first time Begrip ever defeated SK Gaming in a official match, which Vasili "Individ" Richarsson was very happy about, in a post-match interview with the Swedish site rakaka. The second semi-final has just started, seeing H2k Gaming taking on Crack Clan. The winning team will advance to the Grand Final, where Begrip are waiting for them.
moddi are for sure the best imo....and if you look at K/D ratio pita i ranked 4 in the team..... i think he is the worst player in Begrip thats IT. plz respect my opinion! i respect your opinion even if you dont think like me.

Who said they are not from Sweden? You can read I guess? Please don't reply to my posts if you don't understand English...I just replied to his post because he said pita is class lower player than all of the SK players...There's no way that one class lower player can beat a team of 5 better players...He's just too retarded, nothing to do with who's from where...

I hope so, I think their current one won't achieve anything special, even with time... they really, really need to get something new, fresh, and with more eagerness.
Begrip seems to be the right team for this (although I would make some changes in Begrip too :P).

Not sure if SK would do a whole team change just like that.. I'm sure ancianity means anything. walle as a example has been there quite some time already..

SK needs:
1. Change in-game leader walle to Snajdan (i think walle have done his job in SK)
2. Kick zet and bring in some upcoming star (moddii or pita)

maybe there's sth we don't know. SK's manager said the "zet situation" would be solved after IOL. Maybe zet already knew he was out and did not really do all his possible to win

shock ? Didn't see anything shocking tbh, SK clearly has some heavy inner problems, zet is definitely not going to stay after this game, SK played like they didn't really want to...

This ain't shock. Begrip played average and SK played low. SK gotta change their full line-up and bring back Tentpole... With zneel SK is not able to play well, their collaboration is weak and teamwork sux. Zneel and zet gotta leave and SK management too.

I've asked some people, they sad GeT_RiGhT was kind of amazing from the start though it took a while for Gux to acclimatize.. Might be zneel's case. :)

Zet is one of my fav players but I dont wanna see him in SK anymore, Zet deserves better. Zet deserves a team that can give him his old school spirits back. I think he'd fit in a rising tean.
Snajdan in? Im gonna keep my mouth shut now :-)

Agreed, but it might as well be SK. Just look at GTR, he plays really good now when he's with Fnatic. Sure he played good with SK too. But he's IMBAH now!

should be 2-0 but we in hltv.org are humans too and we understand that SK have feelings too so we gave them a sweet onemap defeat.

not big surprise imo... sk sux on few last events, they are able to loose the simpliest round. And one change in line-up cant help, they should change 4 players, only Robban should stay.

sk should kick out zet and zneel and they should practice more, i think the strats that they do the setups etc. are out of date. zet doesnt frag enough and zneel isnt the type of player that can do enough. allen is fine, walle amazing awper, and robban can frag very good with any gun. thats some major changes they need to make.

zet has played really bad the last 4 tournaments and he should be kicked out. CGS destroyed what little skill that were left... Just look at EG. As former coL they kicked ass and now, after CGS, they utterly and totally suck! They're nothing more than ex pro's on the international scene. American teams aren't even close to be what they were before CGS came and ruined everything.
#119 That's probably the most stupid prediction I've ever seen and I've seen many.

hopefully SK convince tentpole to come back, and then bring in snajdan to be ingame leader and make the lineup:
snajdan, walle, allen, tentpole + 1 of robban/spawn/zneel
