SK move on to semi-final

SK Gaming is the last team to make it to the semi-finals, following their thrilling victory against Natus Vincere which saw two overtimes.

SK Gaming had a tremendous start in their match versus Natus Vincere on de_dust2. The Swedes managed nine straight rounds, before Na´Vi scored two. Even if those two rounds were a small glimpse of hope, SK made sure to trash it as they finished off the first half in a 13-2 manner.

Going into the next half, Natus Vincere shocked everyone when they stepped all over SK Gaming in the following rounds. The term stepped all over, in this case, is far from exaggeration, because this was exactly what the squad of Ukrainians did, who ultimately claimed 14 rounds while SK sat with 15. Unfortunately for Natus Vincere, SK sealed the match at 16-14.

The teams moved on to de_tuscan, and Natus Vincere started out as CT, and it seemed like their stint on de_dust2 had encouraged them to keep pushing. Initially, Natus Vincere stated a 5-2 lead, but SK managed to turn it around to their favor, sealing the first half to 10-5. 

Natus Vincere, now as Terrorist, however gained on SK's lead, but they were not the only team securing rounds. The teams fought heavily until a tie was reached, and the match was in for overtime.

The first overtime saw SK and Natus Vincere tie once again, leading to yet another overtime. The final clash featured a two-rounds-win by Na´Vi to begin with, but SK clinched in and secured four straight rounds.
