22:57 - Deja vu from the first half, mTw pick up second round with deagles.

21:23 - Lemondogs win first half on nuke, 14:1 as CT.

Maps will be dust2(mTw), inferno(fnatic) and tuscan.


21:04 - mTw arrive to Inferno Online once again. The Danes apparently took a longer nap than planned, still a big smile on their faces.

20:45 - Lemondogs win first map train 16:9, move on to nuke.

20:02 - 3rd/4th place decider between Lemondogs and PlayZeek about to start. The Danes look very poor and should be a quick win for the Swedes.

18:20 - fnatic won quick and simple against PlayZeek, who never stood a chance against the EMIII champs. fnatic move on to the grand final against mTw, while PlayZeek will play Lemondogs in the 3rd/4th place decider.



fnatic captain Patrik "cArn" Sättermon was cought by ESL shortly after the interview, where on commented that he saw fnatic and mTw as being on the same level for the time being. It should be a interesting final, kicking off at 21:30CET.



17:52 - Chatted with a few of the danes on site here at Inferno Online. Nicolas "pops" Estrup and Ronnie "TwAizZ" Jelsback (both contribute to the production of pixel.tv), had lots of fooling around to do, which ended up with a few photos.



Also walked around the café a bit, lots of various games are being played, CS 1.6, WoW, L4D, WC3, PES and a lot more. fnatic currently leading PlayZeek 7:0 as CT on dust2.

17:44 - fnatic win first map quite simple with 16:3, quick break for PlayZeek, moving on to dust2.

17:30 - Just returned from some late lunch, just in time to see fnatic take home first half on nuke with 13:2.

17:00 - mTw advance to grand final, as they took second map inferno with 16:4. After the match ESL interviewed team captain Alexander "ave" Holdt, questioned if there is any weak link in mTw, he quickly answered "No, there is no weak link in mTw". You can check out statistics from the two maps, by clicking here.



Next up will be fnatic against PlayZeek, starting on nuke.

16:45 - mTw win first half on inferno 13:2, Jonas "whimp" Svendsen playing an amazing half, finishing off with 24 frags 5 deaths, Alexander "ave" Holdt also with a good half gathering 26 frags. 

16:25 - Lemondogs win CT pistol-round, mTw drop weapons in second and win it.

16:16 - MJE switched to a new PC. Second map about to start, mTw picked inferno.



16:00 - mTw win nuke with 16:13, not too convincing. MJE changing his PC as it started to lag towards the end. Players going outside to fresh'n'up.

15:45 - Lemondogs secure first half on nuke 8:7, mTw look a bit rusty. Check out a bunch of new photos in the gallery.



14:30 - Arrived in Stockholm around 14:00 alongside mTw manager Martin "guddo" Cording and my sister, yes you read correct, my sister. The first match is about to begin, mTw taking on Lemondogs (former Giants). A bit of delay but everything seems on track. We will be updating you throughout the entire day, as the finals conclude tonight.



Tune in right now as the first match is about to begin and stay locked for more updates from Stockholm later on.
