dignitas through to semi

dignitas are the first team to advance to the semi-final after their win against Orbit (16-13 on Cobblestone) while SK have been eliminated from the event, falling to Epsilon (16-14 on Overpass).

The winner's match saw Orbit take on Dignitas, a match-up not many had predicted to take place at this point in the tournament. The Bulgarian team started out strongly, showing the same solid play that they had shown in the previous match against SK. At the end of the first half it was 9-6 in favor of Orbit with Emiliyan "⁠spyleadeR⁠" Dimitrov leading the way on the scoreboard.

Once again Kjaerbye led the way for dignitas to advance

The second half was also very close between the teams but it was Dignitas who were able to overcome their first half deficit to win the match 16-13 and become the first team to advance to the semi-finals.

In the loser's match it was SK playing against Epsilon, with both teams' tournament life on the line. Although the analysts and odds all pointed towards the Danish team to take the match, it was Epsilon who won the first half with a close 8-7 scoreline.

xelos led the upset over SK with a 1.23 rating 

The second half started very much in the favor of Epsilon. The Swedish team were able to win the first four rounds of the half before SK got a round on the board. The Danish team were  finally able to mount a comeback to bring the match to a tie, giving us a nailbiter finish.

At 14-14 it was Epsilon that were able to close out the match giving them the stunning upset win over SK. This loss means that the Danes have been knocked out of the tournament.
