SK Gaming defeated Ninjas in Pyjamas 2-1 to advance to the Grand Finals of the ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals on Sunday.

The match opened on a NiP special, Nuke, which went to an near-even 8-7 half in favor of SK. However, NiP shut down almost every attack from the Brazilians and gave them only two rounds before ending the map 16-10.

Next up was Overpass, SK's choice, but this time it wasn't even close. SK went up 12-3 at the half and pushed to a 16-7 win to tie the series.

The deciding map of the series was Cobble, a strong map for both teams, but SK got the early edge with a 9-6 half. The Brazilians took the second pistol round, followed by four rounds in a row, to bring it to a 14-6 scoreline. At that point NiP finally took back some momentum, but it wasn't enough, and SK closed the series 16-10.

SK Gaming are the first team to advance to the Grand Finals later today. Next, mousesports and Cloud9 will face off in the second semifinal.
