Counter-Strike: SK takes on Blank for WCG spot

By: Luis Mira - Published September 27, 2008 at 12:50 PM EDT - Writer Archive
SK Gaming meets Blank to decide who represents Sweden at the World Cyber Games.
SK Gaming will be confident of clinching the spot in Cologne after reaching this stage undefeated, but will be wary of facing a Blank team that has impressed so far.

SK has so far only conceded more than six rounds once - curiously against Blank -, an outstanding record for a team that recently underwent roster changes.

Blank eased past fnatic 2-0 courtesy of a marvellous first-map showing of Niklas "Niko" Johansson and was even able to beat Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg's team on de_train - one of its best maps - by a big margin.

The two teams faced each other on Friday also on de_train, with SK Gaming being the happier side with a score of 16-7. However, this was a game that you shouldn't draw too many conclusions from as both teams had already secured a spot in the Semi-finals.

This final is guaranteed to provide its fair share of drama. Will SK Gaming find the form that once saw it emerge as Sweden's top team? Or will Blank survive another testing match?

The match is scheduled to start on Sunday at 13.00 CET and GotFrag.com will provide HLTV coverage so that you don't miss out any of the action!
