The semi-finals have finished at Copenhagen Games where Sound Blaster CS:GO Challenge is taking place today. ESC Gaming faces SK Gaming in the grand final for a chance at 1,000€.

The first semi-final saw ESC Gaming take on the Brazilians of TargetDown CS:S. Filip "Neo" Kubski's team started as terrorists, going up 3-2 in the beginning. The half was very back and forth from there on out, with TD jumping up to a 7-4 lead before losing three out of the four rounds to finish the half 8-7.

In the other semi-final, SK Gaming was paired up with the British mousesports CS:S team. After over an hour of delays due to PC issues, the match finally got underway with SK winning the opening pistol round. The Swedes went up 11-0 before the Brits could answer.
