Match report:
Pre-match
sK. won the kniferound and decided to start in blue.
Set 1
As |eG.| was the big underdog, I was curious how the match would start.
sK. started strong and with hard pressure from Main and Patio.
|eG.| knew what they could expect.
sK. took the first point and |eG.| had to think of a good defense if they wanted to give resistance.
The next round resulted in a 1on1 with Masi against Windows.
Masi won and it became equal.
sK. continued their strong pressure though and took 2 points in a row.
But |eG.| set a trap by faking a rush and went back Main.
So it became 2-3 and |eG.| had their hope back.
But sK. rushed very quickly and Fleim took the case very quick.
I thought by myself, is |eG.| hiding in Kitchen?
No, they were rushing Roof!
And with success, Masi had a crucial kill because Fleim could almost escape, he was really close.
And they even won the round, which turned the score to 3-3.
Now sK. was kinda pissed off by this action and rushed very very aggresively, which led to a round win with all 5 players left.
Also the next round Fleim was a brutal killer from Patio, |eG.| had no clue what to do against him.
So sK. took 2 quick points after eachother: 3-5.
But again |eG.| found the Roof and scored another round, which was good for the game as neutral watcher.
|eG.| tried a fake rush again, but this time sK. didn't fall for it.
Windows was smart by backkilling them via Cargo in East, he took 2 easy kills.
|eG.| defended not that bad, but sK. was just better in the personal duels.
Especially Fleim was a level of skill higher, he outaimed the most in Conference from Patio.
Via him, sK. had all space from Main to enter Conference.
And they took point after point, after point, after point.
And then the teamlimit was there!
4-10!
sK.
win by 10 to 4Set 2
With only 4 points for |eG.|, they had a really hard mission.
But it is their only chance, and |eG.| took it!
They took the first point.
Unfortunately sK. gave their answer already back and it became 1-1.
sK. tried to score another quick point by rushing Roof, but it failed.
But the round after, sK. scored their second point already.
|eG.| had to press a lot now to take some rounds.
And with success, they took 4 rounds in a row!
Now that it was 6-2 on the board, I thought maybe they could continue this line.
But sK. took a round by normal defending, and it became already close; they needed 1 more round for a draw, 2 for a win...
And sK. took another round as well!
Now it was at least a draw.
|eG.| pushed more and more, and Havoc had a nice double-kill from Patio with his shotgun.
So it became 7-4 and everything could still happen, but with the experience sK. has, it's very hard to score 3 points in a row.
And it failed already, Ville was alone left against 5 sK. players and saw his place for the final being crushed...
But even with the winner already known, |eG.| didn't give up and Yoggie won a nice round against Azzy in a 1on1 in Conference.
But Fleim showed also what a player is capable to do, and he made 4 kills in the next round.
So with 8-7 on the board, sK. rushed Roof.
|eG.| was still very focussed, all Main players came immediatly up and they were on time.
But sK. was like I mentioned before just more accurate and more experienced in their duels.
So they took this round as well, to 8-8.
|eG.| attacked now and sK. already believed the match was over.
Still |eG.| took 2 points and sK. 1, so |eG.| still won the set.
|eG.| win by 10 to 9
Final Score: |eG.| 14 - 19 sK.
Conclusion
Many posts indicated that |eG.| was chanceless from the beginning.
Well, in my eyes they weren't.
They played quite good and sK. was really surprised sometimes.
Maybe sK. didn't have their best line-up, still |eG.| prestated pretty good if you ask me.
But the personal duels were won by sK.
Fleim was for me the man of the match, on blue he was too mighty for whole |eG.| in Conference.
But Masi and Havoc played nicely as well.
Windows and Azzy were a stable factor, like normally.
Deserved winner?
sK. for sure, but |eG.| wasn't chanceless at all, it was in fact a good Semi Final.
sK. can take another Gold again, good luck guys with that
.And a very nice try from |eG.| as big underdog, good luck with the Bronze!
