SK on top, eSahara out on round diff.

25-11-2011 18:06

SK Gaming and Anexis have advanced further into the tournament, while Electronic Sahara are out based on round difference.

Group A is the second group of MSI BEAT IT 2011 that has come to conslusion, with SK Gaming topping the standings with their nine points. The second team to go through is Anexis with four points.

The two teams to bow out are ColdGame, who qualified through the on-site qualifier, and French team Electronic Sahara, with the latter dropping out because of their round difference to Anexis.

Although eSahara put up a better fight against SK than what Anexis did, the Danes managed to fend off ColdGame with a 16-0 scoreline, which provided them with the better round difference.

#	Team	W	T	L	RD	Points
1.	SK Gaming	3	0	0	48-18 (+30)	9
2.	Anexis	1	1	1	35-31 (+4)	4
3.	Electronic Sahara	1	1	1	42-40 (+2)	4
4.	ColdGame	0	0	3	12-48 (-36)	0

The two players from SK Gaming who really left an impression were Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström, the team's in-game leader, and Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, both showing outstanding performance.

Statistically speaking, Dahlström was SK Gaming's best player in their first and last matches of the group stage. He is also the player with the best average rating overall so far at the event.

In the team's second encounter, against eSahara, Lindberg was a one-man army, displaying 21 kills and three deaths. That was 60% better than the team's average rating for that match.

SK Gaming's statistics:

Null element

Anexis, on the other hand, did not have anything as impressive as SK Gaming to show for. One of their players, Thomas "BEECK" Beeck, had a few crucial moments he handled quite well, though.

Anexis' statistics:

Null element

With this out of the way, SK Gaming will take on Natus Vincere in the quarterfinals, which will be one-to-watch. Anexis will try their luck against fnatic in their next match-up of the tournament.

WTF? :((((((((((((((((((((

2011-11-25 18:56

Such a shame that eSahara couldn't progress... Also, wtf trace bottom? :O

2011-11-25 19:03

It's hard to play as a stand-in in a well organized team, you don't really know what you should do in certain situations.

2011-11-25 19:07

Well, i know that stuff, but he's trace... :\

2011-11-25 19:09

I guess that's not enough :P

2011-11-25 20:58

plus one

2011-11-25 21:42

anyway anexis or eSahara both don't have the level to do big damage in this competition with the way they played today. anexis need to set up their game tomorrow or they will get destroyed by navi

2011-11-25 21:11

both teams are relatively new. Anexis and eSahara will have their share in future.

2011-11-25 21:27

France sucks at pretty much everything at the moment (economy, employment, social services, sports, education...), not only CS. Time to leave the country I think ;)

it's unfortunate. When I saw mSx play a few years I thought he'd be among the best in the world. same when emuLate won WCG :p

2011-11-25 21:47

his last event was very sick, dont say msx is out of shape. he wasnt in shape at THIS event

2011-11-25 22:07

I'm not saying that, read again dude. He's just not a top 10 player, as I tought he would be.

2011-11-25 22:15

he was, but there is not enough room for him players like trace neo get_right edward markeloff... have proven themselfes too often in the last 2 years

2011-11-25 22:25

if you think France is sucks,you didnt see another eu countries i think...hah...
