A play by play recap of the upper bracket finals as I was sitting behind SK.


First Half: SK wins knife round and starts pistol.

Round 1: SK sets up 2 guys at Z (Allen and RobbaN) as robban falls back inner from Z and sees the push by mibr at inner. Nak gets opener as AlleN answers back. Good job on SK for the retake as mibr had only one frag, but at least got the bomb plant down. (Score 1-0 for SK)

Round 2: Allen is using an m4 on bomb train, robban m4s in alley with walle spotting alley wielding a usp, tentpole back 5 and zet inner alone. They spot the Brazilians out alley and t mid. Robban drops two before getting killed by bit. He loses m4 but walle picks it up. Only 1 kill for mibr. (score 2-0 for SK)

Round 3: Smoke mid from mibr as walle was trying to awp t mid from bombtrain. He falls back and awps cogu at back 5 then flashes and smokes the alley to fall back on CT ramp. He spots fnx and awps him as well and with help from allen, they take down btt. Outside was denied as SK got a flawless round. (score 3-0 SK)

Round 4: Walle pushed inner upper and is awping towards the staircase. He kills one as mibr is saving inner. He gets picked by bit as mibr tries to plant at bomb train. fnx picks up an m4 and kills robban, but tentpole comes on the rotation and frags the last two and through all the blood splatter, allen gets the defuse. Good save for mibr as they kill 3 and gets the bomb down (score 4-0 SK).

Round 5: Walle awps ladder from bomb train as robban awps inner from lower popdog inner. Allen plays aggro as he pushes up to popdog outside. So far it is clear and slow for SK. Zet calls audibles inner. 1:06 on the clock as things are still slow. At 30 seconds, mibr pushes out alley with smoke and robban misses an awp shot and dies after tentpole failed at holding alley. Allen comes out and they get the bomb down at the back of bomb train. One guy's spotted at pop dog as zet flanked from spawn and killed two. Walle defends his teammate zet as zet goes for a full defuse. They get it. (Score 5-0 SK)

Round 6: Robban spots bomb from popdog and awps him down as bomb was trying to go E-box. Allen drops 2 at 6 train. 3v1 one as cogu was trying to work inner, but walle fell back at Z to awp upper ramp and got the best of him. (Score 6-0 SK)

Round 7: Cogu gets the opening frag on allen outside. Walle boosts his teammate at alley for him to spot. Zet screams for an inner push. He gets one but gets killed. Robban is still inner though as he awps two himself. He then gets picked by cogu as we have a 2v1 after tentpole kills nak from upper ramp to inner site. Walle is about to flank from ladder. Cogu awps Tentpole from upper ramp to bomb train 1. walle gives away his position as he was trying to usp cogu at long range as we have 30 seconds remaining. It is a 1v1. 18 seconds left as walle pushes towards lower hump to go Z.. Bomb planted outside as both players spot each other. The swede chases after him with a usp instead of trying to awp. Meanwhile, cogu picked up an m4 and killed him. Cogu gets the first round of the match for mibr. MiBR now calls for a timeout. (score 6-1, SK)


MiBR in a huddle


Round 8: We resume the match with another full gun round. Robban pushes popdog outside and kills an early one out ladder. bit then kills tentpole and walle misses a scope in alley to nak. Allen though holds from 5 train and drops fnx and his teammate and robban who was still around popdog killed another mibr player and allen fragged BTT at train. (score 7-1 SK)

Round 9: zet asks for help as he tries to hold inner with a famas, but as he kills two. Allen already was there to help them out to rack some more frags and SK gets the round. mibr was on a save and they all get dropped in under 3 seconds. (score 8-1 SK)

Round 10: bit gets the early kill on allen. Robban ties things up as he awps one at Z and then quickscopes fnx at 6 train. Tentpole calls for enemies outside alley. Zet was at Z and killed one. 2v1 situation with btt as the lms. Robban was awping from spawn and stayed patient and got the kill on BTT and score is 9-1 for SK.

Round 11: walle pushed upper ramp and spotted one to awp him down, robban awping lower and awped one as well as mibr was trying to save inner and robban and walle gets usp kills (10-1 SK).

Round 12: They work outside for mibr as tentpole is the first to die that round. walle then gets naded back 5 as mibr is still pushing up. Robban tries to hold outside while he waits for zet with a bomb planted outside. He awps one in back 5 but then gets picked by robban. zet now will save an awp at the inner for the round after. mibr will get this round and the score will be 10-2 SK. zet was able to save that awp.

Round 13: zet drops the awp for his teammate as he spots t mid with an m4. He is the first to die as they spot mibr pushing outside. Walle was awping tower and got one but couldn't hold any longer. Allen is lms at bomb train and was able to drop bomber, but he was stuck in a crouch stance under the train and couldn't move fast enough. cogu awps him. (score 10-3 SK)

Round 14: Save round for SK with only walle m4ing since he had 6K+. walle kills one alley as tentpole calls for smoke and flashes alley from 5 train. Walle falls back Z and spots then going lower. He falls back to popdog outside to help allen flank from ladder. cogu awps him down at lower and btt gets a quick peek frag at the corner of the staircase onto walle. (score 10-4 SK)

Round 15: Last round as Zet owns inner from flatbed. Cogu then awps 2 of his own as walle kills him with m4 from hump. We have a 2v1 now with the last mibr member, nak, at the bottom of the scoreboard, BUT HE CLUTCHES THE ROUND as he pushes down the upper ramp towards spawn and kills the last two SK members. Decent comeback and a good finish for mibr as 10-5 is the score for SK.
