Anexis win The Nordic Games #1

Anexis have strolled through The Nordic Games #1, beating Swedish team newschool 2-0 in the semi-final and team xxx from Norway 2-0 in the final, to secure 5 tickets for Copenhagen Games 2013.

The Nordic Games #1 by Komplett & Mad Catz was an online tournament containing one team from each of the Nordic countries apart from Iceland. During the past several weeks, qualifiers were held in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway, and the winners of those met this Sunday in a single elimination best-of-three tournament.

The main favorites were Danes of Anexis, and they proved that right away in their semi-final against Swedish representative newschool. They had no problems in overcoming Dennis "dennis" Edman's squad 2-0, firstly winning 16-6 on de_inferno_se and then 16-10 on de_nuke_se.

The other semi-final went to three maps, but Norwegian team xxx was very convincing in their two map wins. It was apparent at the beginning that they were better prepared for their clash against Kepardit, winning 16-3 on de_mirage_csgo, but the Finns retaliated on de_nuke_se with a 16-12 result. However, the deciding third map de_inferno_se saw team xxx cruise to the final of the tournament following a 16-1 victory.

The final started shortly after on de_dust2_se and the more experienced side Anexis set the tone early on and eventually took the map with no trouble 16-6. Team xxx were unable to recover even after the action moved to their selection de_inferno_se, as Anexis showed they were a much better team at this moment by winning 16-3.
