fnatic pass SK test

fnatic are the second team through to the Grand Final at the Extreme Masters World Championship following a 2-0 win of SK Gaming.

Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström had spoken of the importance of winning the first pistol round, and his team managed to deliver, with SK flying off to a 3-0 scoreline. After fnatic finally put their name on the scoreboard for the first time in the match, SK worked their way to a fourth round, before seeing their opponents adding a series of round as they were up 10-5 at the break, with Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg in great form.

The second half brought more of the same, as SK once again had the edge in the pistol round, but this time around fnatic were much quicker to respond, regaining control of the action right after and going all the way to seal an impressive 16-6 win.

de_train began the exact same way, with SK winning the pistol and the following two rounds to take an early lead in the second map. However, fnatic, who were playing as CT, were in the driving seat from then on, as SK struggled to get more rounds their way, with 11-4 the scoreline at the break.

fnatic were now playing as Terrorist but that did little to scare them as they picked up their first pistol round of the match. With an eight-round deficit and fnatic just three rounds away from victory, SK knew they had a mountain a climb, but a risky purchasing attempt paid off in the third round, with SK winning their fifth round. The next round went in the way of fnatic, who now had 10 match points in hand. Though SK still managed to pull one back, fnatic bagged the last round the needed to win the second map 16-6.
