The tournament definitely seems to be one for dark horses, this time another scalp going the way of ESC Gaming and it dripping Ukrainian blood.

Yes, Na'Vi are the latest team to have fallen to the underdogs of ESC who definitely seem to have a bite much worse than their bark.

It was no accident either. On de_nuke the blend of Swedes and Norwegians powered into a 7-0 lead before Na'Vi had even got a round on the board. No restarts here either - they were being beaten with their full compliment of players, ESC Gaming showing Lions exactly how it should be done.

Even with some momentum Na'Vi still only managed five rounds going into the half time interval, ESC Gaming in double figures and a commanding position against the odds. Special credit was being heaped on Andreas "moddii" Fridh who was already showing the other Swedish organisations what they were missing with his performances for his new home.

Indeed, after Na'Vi took the second half pistol it was this player that single handedly turned it on its head in the next round with some much needed frags. This left Na'Vi without money and without motivation.

Still, with exchanges pretty even there was always the chance Na'Vi's quality would out. It wasn't to be though and ESC capped off a great run of results with a 16-9 win to cement their position at the top of the group.
