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.

SK if they play like the pros they are should have this, but remember they did get beat by weaker teams like CAI, but that was online, not saying NiP is weak saying SK if they dont scew themselves should have this

#5 thats two scores... but yeah sk will probably win i would like to see NiP pull an upset but its too new of a team and i love my team sk, i think if sk does not play there offensive style that they talked about in a interview that can either lead to a win or a loss 50/50 then sk will have this no problem probably 16-9 but if they screw up like spawn mentioned in a interview about there tactics then it would either be a close game possibly overtime or if it comes down to skill its just whos on there game and as much as many people dont like face i think he is an outstanding clutch player and always throws big numbers up. as for there new guys i believe get_right is a known player that can easly prove him self in this game and probably will. as for sk they need to just play there game and be smart about it and hope that spawn can be on his aim.

both teams can win this. SK have more team play but NiP look strong with a easy victory versus Blank (19-11).

Blank = threat, niko, get, JAEGARN & Rwa
