SK & Na'Vi move on to ESWC final

SK Gaming and Natus Vincere have been confirmed as the 2010 ESWC finalists after beating Frag eXecutors and mTw, respectively.

Na´Vi and mTw played out one of the most interesting matches of the tournament so far, with the Ukrainians' win on de_dust2 and de_train sandwiched out by the ex-NoA's success on de_tuscan.

Things started out really well for Na´Vi, who found de_dust2 familiar grounds as they eased past mTw 16-5. The next map, though, was almost the polar opposite, with mTw stepping up big time. de_tuscan required a total of three overtimes to decide the winner, and in the end mTw managed to level the tie 1-1.

On the final map, de_train, it was expected to be an interesting sniping duel between Yegor "markeloff" Markelov and Christoffer "Sunde" Sunde, but it was mere routine for the Ukrainian, who picked up 28 frags as CT to inspire Na´Vi to a 14-1 result at half time. The second half was mere formality, as mTw posed little threat to Na´Vi, who won it 16-1.
