FX through after SK victory

Frag eXecutors have become the last team to enter the quarter-finals at WCG 2010 after a dramatic 2-1 victory over SK Gaming.

WCG defending champions Frag eXecutors came from behind to beat SK Gaming 2-1 and seal passage into the quarter-final stage at WCG 2010 in Los Angeles.

The match kicked off on de_tuscan, where SK had showed some impressive play earlier in the tournament, when they eased past Meet Your Makers 24-6. However, this time around the Swedes felt a lot of trouble, and even found themselves down 9-6 at the break. In the second half, though, SK, now playing as CT, looked a lot more inspired and turned the score around to win it 16-14.

On de_train, SK took full advantage of the fact they started off on the defensive side, as the scoreboard showed 10-5 in their favour, a result which made many think the Swedes had the game in the bag. But FX were determined to prove they still had something to say and pulled off an even bigger CT-sided display to win the map 16-14 and level the tie.

Both teams then moved on to de_dust2, where after a close first half, which ended with 8-7 for SK, the Swedes picked up several rounds in a row to make it 15-11 and earn four match points. However, pressure hit SK real hard from then on, as FX upped their game and not only managed to equalise and take the match to overtime, but they also won OT without dropping a single round, claiming victory on de_dust2 with a score of 19-15.
