WCG Sweden - The Final Fight

The first day at the Swedish WCG finals started with delays and lots of problems. Today everything works like a charm. Today will be the day where we will find the Swedish participant for WCG 2007.

The second day at the Swedish WCG finals started at 11.00CET with the first semi final. The first semi final consisted of the e-Stars champions fnatic, and the new team in Swedish CS Blank. The two teams were to fight for one of the two spots in the final, and a step closer to WCG 2007. Here are the results from the first semi final.

The semi final started on Blank's map, de_dust2. fnatic started with a really strong T side, and won the first half 12:3. The second half didn't go that well for fnatic. It took some time before they won their first round, and then it went rapidly, gathering the remaining three rounds.

The second map, de_train chosen by fnatic, had their name written all over it as they always seem to do so well in it. Blank started as CT, and won the gunround. But then dsn stepped in with four Desert Eagle frags, turning Blank's great start into a nightmare. fnatic pulled the first half home with 12:3. The second half fnatic didn't give anything away, and took four rounds in a row. fnatic are now one step closer to the spot for WCG 2007. Who will they face in the final? It's time to find out.

The second semi final consisted of NiP and SK-Gaming. NiP just had roster changes and SK had been struggling with their bad streak of loosing. Who would have the force to win this one, and face fnatic in the final? Time to find out. Here are the results from the second semi final.

The second semi final started on de_nuke. SK-Gaming as CT, and had a strong playing allen today. He took down 2 to 4 enemies each round, making things a lot easier for SK-Gaming. With 26 kills and 6 deaths, allen made sure SK-Gaming won the first half with 10:5.
The second half with NiP as CT, turned out we be really exciting. SK-Gaming had a few rounds that unfortunally didn't go their way, and with NiP's latest addition, GeT_RiGhT, things didn't go smoother. GeT_RiGhT played a really nice CT side, along face they made it difficult for SK-Gaming to enter those bombsites. The winner should be found in the very last round. The round didn't go well for SK-Gaming and NiP could easy eliminate all five SK players. With the score 16:14, it was time for the second map.

The second map in the semi final, was de_dust2. A map where everything can happen. NiP starting as T on the map, made them favorites, as many say it's a T map. But SK-Gaming wanted it different. The first half ended very close. SK-Gaming managed to gather 8 CT rounds, versus NiP's 7 T rounds.
The second half started with NiP taking the gunround. From that point and onwards, NiP didn't give anything away to SK-Gaming. SK-Gaming only manged to get two rounds, before NiP had gathered their nine rounds. NiP will advance to the final, where they will be facing fnatic.

The Grand Final will be played tonight at 20.00CET. fnatic and NiP will fight for the Swedish WCG spot over three maps. So tune in for an exciting final at 20.00CET. As you might have noticed, the technicians made it possible for us to host HLTV today. It's sad that we could not host anything yesterday, but there was simply nothing we could do about it.
