Before ESWC actually started SK Gaming has to pack up and go home.
The first group play in the Swedish ESWC qualifier has just ended and that meant an exit for SK Gaming. With fierce opponents in the shape of fnatic and dark horse Begrip Gaming, SK Gaming really had to prove them self.
After beating Begrip Gaming as planned, SK and fnatic looked like the 2 obvious group winners, but since Begrip was able to beat fnatic in a close match everything was open once again.
In the final round fnatic crushed SK and thereby also their dreams of proceeding to the next round of the qualifier. A 24-6 loss together with a secure Begrip win against the amateurs from esc.Novama meant that SK finished third in the group and thereby had to pack up and go home.
