Vexed have surprised SK Gaming in the initial round of group C with a 16-10 victory on de_train.

The start of SK's match with Vexed saw the Poles getting to a quick 5-0 lead as Terrorists after a won pistol round, a gunround and a few anti-ecos.

A single round going SK's way wasn't enough to stabilize economical situation as they were broke after losing the next, but Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen bailed his team out with three kills and a 1-on-2 clutch for his team's second round in the half.

Three rounds in a row to Vexed's name afterwards, Michael "⁠Friis⁠" Jørgensen stepped up with an AWP quad-kill, but the mostly-Danish lineup wasn't able to make a streak out of it as they began staring down the barrel at 12-3.



Furlan lived up to the expectations

More of Friis's heroics in the second pistol round helped SK to three rounds in a row, and Andreas "⁠MODDII⁠" Fridh's quad-kill in the first gunround of the second half extended it to five.

A few of the rounds got a bit too close for comfort, but nevertheless SK gaming clawed their way back into the match round by round. It all stopped once they reached 10 rounds however, as it only took four rounds in a row for the Poles to come out victorious at 16-10.
