The new SK Gaming team won their first match with a convincing 16-3 thrashing of Electronic Sahara on de_inferno.
The Swedish team began the match the better, picking up the first three rounds. ESahara then responded, but a solitary round did little for them, as SK continued doing a tremendous job on the T side, pushed by Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund's AK-47. In the last rounds of the first half, the Frenchmen still managed to pull something off, winning two more rounds as the scoreboard showed 12-3 at half time.
New SK in good form
Many expected different colours from Electronic Sahara, but SK picked up where they had left off and bagged the first four rounds with ease to walk out 16-3 winners.
