Even FaZe couldn’t stop SK’s 3rd trophy.
Nothing can stop SK Gaming. In just 2 months, FalleN’s army has won 3 major LAN tournaments, including: EPICENTER, BLAST Pro Series and just yesterday the ESL Pro League final. The ESL prize has a prize money of $225,000, enough for them to live well for the rest of the year.
The group stage took place quite unexpectedly, when North and Astralis were eliminated, while in the inner round there were only weak teams like HellRaisers and Misfits. However, all fans are looking forward to the dream final to determine who is the world No. 1: SK Gaming vs. FaZe Clan.
Both teams are fighting for the number one spot in the rankings. After completely destroying every opponent at ELEAGUE Premier and IEM New York, FaZe is considered the king of a new era, when both SK and Astralis have performed under form at the beginning of the season. The Brazilian team soon picked up the pace at EPICENTER and have been ‘unmatched’ ever since.
Both FaZe and SK were ranked first in the group, won the semi-finals directly and easily “destroyed” Fnatic and Misfits, to meet in the final. The audience at Odense fully supported the host player Finn “karrigan” Andersen and his teammates, but SK has clearly grasped its strength.
“We thought we were going to win 3-0 at first,” fer said in an interview yesterday after beating SK to win the title. SK could not win 3-0, and the 3-1 result also shows that the matches are not completely tilted to one side. In a suffocating moment, GuardiaN ‘chym’ FalleN while smoke defuse. The match could have easily gone OT on map 4 and dragged the finals to game 5.
Although there is still one more LAN tournament before the end of this year, SK Gaming will not be attending it. The ECS Season 4 final will take place December 15-17 in Cancun, Mexico, and FaZe Clan will have a chance to catch up.
