SK out after FX loss

SK Gaming have been sent packing at the IEM5 European Championship Finals after a 16-13 defeat to Frag eXecutors.

The Swedish team required a win to depend only on themselves on progression to the next stage as Meet Your Makers could leapfrog them at the table in case they beat mousesports in their last group match.

However, SK, who had lost to MYM 16-3 earlier today, were defeated by Frag eXecutors in a close 16-13 match, with the POles picking up eight eights in both halves.

With Meet Your Makers moving past mousesports 16-14, this means that the Russian side are through to the playoffs, leaving the new SK Gaming team empty-handed.

mTw avoid a showdown against Natus Vincere in the relegation stage after a 15-15 draw with Electronic Sahara, leaving MYM as the team to wrestle the Ukrainians.

Elsewhere, fnatic and Lions won their respective matches, which means that the former are through to the semi finals, while the latter will tackle mTw to continue in the tournament.
