We have our four finalists! After a tough battle against the Swedish lineup of DenDD, the reigning Fragbite Masters champions have managed to grab the fourth and final spot for this weekend's LAN finals. Starting on Friday, Team SoloMid will fight against their arch rivals in Fnatic, their countrymen in SK Gaming as well as the superstar team NiP Gaming.
On the following Inferno, Team SoloMid looked like they would take the series in a convincing 2-0 fashion when they got a solid 11-4 lead in half time after playing as CT. However, DenDD really put a whole new gear in and defended the bombsites flawlessly. They won twelve straight rounds to make a clean comeback and force the game to a third deciding map.
The momentum of the win on Inferno really moved over to the final map, which was Overpass. On the terrorist side, DenDD got a staggering 11-4 lead in half time. By now, one would think the upset was real, but you should never take Counter-Strike for granted. TSM started winning terrorist sides of their own, and eventually got the match to overtime. In this MR3 decider, Team SoloMid proved to be slightly better, winning it 4-1.
DenDD: twist, zende, BENDJI, Dumas, robiin
TSM: cajunb, device, dupreeh, karrigan, Xyp9x
As previously mentioned, this means we have our four LAN finalists ready for battle. This Friday, the 4th of December, Fnatic, NiP Gaming, SK Gaming and Team SoloMid will be on site at the Fragbite Studios in Stockholm, Sweden to fight for the 500,000 SEK prize pool. The finals will be three days long, ending on Sunday evening, and of course broadcasted with top-notch production, casters and personalities. More information will be released tomorrow. Don't miss it!
