Counter-Strike: NiP vs SK in WCG Qualifier Semifinals

By: Luis Mira - Published August 17, 2007 at 9:04 PM EDT - Writer Archive
Ninjas in Pyjamas plays SK Gaming in the qualifier's first clash of the "big three" on Saturday morning.
The ninjas come into the semifinals on the back of a so-so campaign in a group that seemed to be nothing short of accessible.

A draw against arCade and an 8-7 halftime advantage to Blank surely frightened some fans at the possibility of an early elimination.

These results prove Ninjas in Pyjamas still has a lot of work to do with its recently created line-up.

Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund has proved a strong figure so far and is ready to play a major role in Saturday's big game against SK.

Few were those who had risked a high bet on SK Gaming, following its recent lack of first-rate results.

Andreas "bds" Thorstensson surely explained to his men how important this tournament would be and that roster changes would take place in case of another failure.

From the four teams still standing in the tournament, SK Gaming is the one that has the most to prove, specially in a game against its archrival.

Christer "fisker" Eriksson will be in the spotlight at the game, as the Swedish international is eager to prove his critics wrong.
