Na`Vi and fnatic through to semis

The first two quarter finals matchups were played today with Natus Vincere and fnatic managing to take down Moscow Five and WinFakt to advance to the semi finals of TECHLABS Cup.

First match of the day was a rematch of Kingston Trilogy Tour grand finals as Natus Vincere took on Moscow Five on de_inferno and de_tuscan. At first it seemed as if M5 could repeat their performance in Turkey as they went up 13-9 before the Ukrainians forced overtime and eventually escaped with a 19-17 win on the first map.

On de_tuscan the first half ended with Mihail "Dosia" Stolyarov's team trailing by one, but the second half was all Na`Vi as they only lost two rounds in the entire half before scoring the needed eight Counter-Terrorist side rounds to win 16-9 and 2-0 overall.

In the second match WinFakt had a great start against fnatic, going up 6-0 before losing a round as Counter-Terrorists on de_nuke and eventually winning the first half 11-4. The second half was all fnatic however, as they clinched a close 16-14 win.

As in the other quarter final, the second map was de_tuscan where the Finns had an early lead of 7-2. Once again fnatic found their way back into the game, as they scored six rounds as Terrorists and went up 7-0 before losing their first round in the second half. After trading a few rounds, the map eventually ended 16-12 in favor of the Swedes.

SK Gaming will meet Vifort at 18:00 tomorrow followed up by ESC Gaming versus KerchNET at 20:30 as the last quarter final. Natus Vincere will meet fnatic in the semi final at 18:00 on Friday and the second semi final will take place on Friday at 20:30 .
