SK beat ESC to win CS:GO challenge

5-4-2012 02:26

The Sound Blaster CS:GO Challenge has come to a close with SK Gaming winning it all by beating ESC Gaming 16-13 in the grand final.

The grand final took place on de_dust2 just as the rest of the tournament, with SK Gaming starting as counter-terrorists. They were able to win the opening pistol round and the following save round, but Mariusz "Loord" Cybulski's three kills in the third round and four on the fourth to tie it up at 2-2.

Celebration in the SK camp

Fifth round came down to a one-on-one with possibly the two best CS players of all time, with Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg edging out the win against Filip "Neo" Kubski this time. The game kept going back and forth with Cybulski getting three kills in a one-on-four situation a few rounds later but Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund got the best of him to even it up at 4-4.

SK went on to win the next two rounds, but ESC tied it back up to 6-6 with a clutch by Cybulski against Alesund. The two teams were neck and neck throughout the half, as they traded more rounds only to even up at seven, before ESC scored the final round to switch sides with a 8-7 lead.

Handshakes exchanged between the two teams

Second half started with a three kill round by Kubski which secured ESC the pistol round. SK attempted a force buy on the second round but only managed two kills and were forced to save after. The Swedes woke up at 0-3 though, winning four rounds in a row before ESC got one of their own to make it 12-11.

SK quickly replied having found their tempo as terrorists, winning three in a row to make it 15-12 in their favor. As a desperate measure, ESC bought two shotguns that were able to cut SK's lead in two but in the end it was Lindberg who scored the last frag to lead SK to a 16-13 win.

VERYGAMES > SK GAMING , lets hope to see a game between those 2 :)

2012-04-05 02:53

VG is quite overrated since...yesterday? They suck bro, cmon.

2012-04-05 03:43

I cant believe i watched a full CoD tournament :/ too bad for me :/

1.6 <3

2012-04-05 03:04

Is there any video or recorded stream of this match?

2012-04-05 03:31

Should check over twitch.tv tomorrow. Nothing special tbh, but they surely recorded some VODs

2012-04-05 03:42

gg :)

2012-04-05 04:09

Let's see if it will be the same result in 1.6 >.<

i guess CS:GO isnt as tactical as CS:S

2012-04-05 04:46

haha, waiting for Fallen's reaction to this!

2012-04-05 05:29

hahaha :D

2012-04-05 07:41

nice td :D, dont win but nice place !

congratulations :)

2012-04-05 05:21

GTR motm :D

2012-04-05 05:39

highlights please :[

2012-04-05 07:03

cs1.6 teams > cs:s teams coz cs:s sux!

Its so clear that if you give e.g. SK a week to practise CS:S, they will beat the number one team in CS:S. 1.6 requires the biggest combination of skills; aim, reflexes, brains, tactics..

2012-04-05 07:43

in cs:go win in cs 1.6 no

2012-04-05 07:45

gg sk gaming !

2012-04-05 08:01

1st dota 2 prize 1million $$ to winner 1st cs go prize 1000€ to winner :|

2012-04-05 08:02

this is not official tournament from valve

2012-04-05 08:18

Expected Reaction from some guys: When ESC wins: ESC > SK ANYWHERE ANYTIME ANYGAME When SK wins: SK can only make it in other game

2012-04-05 08:15

Yeah, that's just sad. Congratulations to SK for winning, but also to ESC as a 1.6 team for reaching final. The second photo shows it was a fair game. I'm looking forward for 1.6 competition and tough matches between them!

2012-04-05 08:53

I doubt they were playing srsly

2012-04-05 08:59

i doubt u have brain

2012-04-05 13:40

I really don't care who wins as long as 1.6 wins :)

2012-04-05 09:17

Funny, SK won 1000 Euro, but those headsets, what ESC won cost 250 Euro each, so ESC won 1250 Euro :D

2012-04-05 09:01

Yeah, but i prefer the cash... I know they can still resell the hardware, but im not sure they will get full price for them.

2012-04-05 09:23

Im sure kuben will sell them online soon ;)

2012-04-05 12:05

Yes, but i dont think he will get the exact price of the ehadset for them, things lose value when you resell them, well unless its something like a house :P

2012-04-05 19:21

ESC lost on purpose :P

2012-04-05 09:30

lold

2012-04-05 09:05

Will the winners of the 10 beta keys for this CS:GO challenge get announced or have they already been spread?

sorry but only cs 1.6.. but good fight by both teams. gl in 1.6 ;p

2012-04-05 09:25

Clearly cs 1.6 is a better game than source since it's more skill wise rather than source, although cs:go looks very much like source, cs 1.6 players dominate it

2012-04-05 09:27

i have played it and it doesnt feel like source or 1.6, its totally new game when it comes how it feels and most of those games where so close that they could have gone other way also. i highly doubt that cs 1.6 players would dominate cs:go anymore than cs:source players

I cant argue, havent played it yet. Just saying from how the tournament has turned out. Both 1.6 teams played each other in the finals :)

2012-04-05 10:05

Exactly. I've got CS:GO Beta and I have to say it's totally different to 1.6 or Source. It's just a new Counter-Strike, but with all new physics and weapons.

2012-04-05 10:49

so nice, css teams had no chance. if cs:go really would unite the communities, sk, esc and navi will lead the game :D cya source noobs

2012-04-05 09:37

SB Recon3D Omega Wireless - 250e, so 5x250=1250e. :P

2012-04-05 09:46

Yeah but it was from one of the sponsors.. So they got it cheaper I guess :D.

A big hit to the dwindling source community. 1.6 ftw!

2012-04-05 10:08

cs:go is a joke. gimme some 1.6 mfuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!

2012-04-05 10:15

I didn't saw the game =( Give me the link please where i can to see this epic game....

2012-04-05 10:23

nice picture face is like walking away because he isnt interested at all about the game.

2012-04-05 10:42

f0rest was playing great with AWP and just incredible with this gun (vs. mouz.CSS) even if I'm not his fan, I noticed that :P From ESC - loord and taz were playing their best
