SK Gaming came from behind to beat OpTic Gaming 2-1 and progress towards the ESL One Cologne semi-finals.
The very first map from the series, Mirage, was SK's map pick, but the very first half would have suggested otherwise. A flying start from OpTic saw them cruise for an 8-0 lead as SK simply Couldn‘t discover a way with the North American's tight defence.
Gabriel FalleN Toledo then handed SK their first round of the overall game after finding three opening kills, but OpTic immediately regained control, leaving the Brazilians with no money. SK would get another round because of a robust individual action, this point from Epitacio TACO de Melo, but like the half drew to an in depth, the North Americans enjoyed a commanding 13-2 lead.
SK kept themselves inside the game by winning the pistol round and also the subsequent anti-ecos. OpTic wouldn‘t have the ability to string rounds together after they got money inside the bank, however it Didn‘t take them long to hit 15 rounds, courtesy of the triple kill from Keith NAF Markovic.
With no margin for error, the Brazilians still attempted to push for overtime, picking up three more rounds, but finally OpTic got their 16th round upon the board to bring command inside the series.
Map two, Cache, began with Fernando fer Alvarenga shutting OpTic down having a quad kill within the A site inside the pistol round. SK eventually carried their momentum straight into the gun rounds, cruising to some 5-0 lead, with NAF then giving his team their first round with four kills.
TACO came up huge often times inside the rounds that followed, preventing OpTic from building upon the few rounds that were going a good way. The Brazilian team remained in control until finished from the half, limiting their opponents to only two rounds.
OpTic drew first blood inside the second half and followed that up by having an anti-eco, however SK responded on the shoddy buy and eventually hit match point. OpTic tightened up their defense and enjoyed their best period of the overall game, but a 1v2 clutch from Marcelo coldzera David sealed the victory to the Brazilians.
All of it came right all the way down to Cobblestone, which began having a flawless CT pistol from OpTic. SK rallied back on the force buy, which propelled them into your 4-1 lead, with OpTic then stringing three rounds together to equalise the score. What followed was a really dominant period coming from the Brazilians, who won the last seven rounds from the half that will put OpTic in danger of receiving blown out.
OpTic found a lifeline inside the second half, winning the pistol round by having an A execution and following that up with two more rounds, but once SK got money inside the bank it was eventually all over to the North Americans, who wouldn‘t have the ability to break with the Brazilians' defence again.
