Four teams left in Dubai

Only four teams remain in Global Challenge Dubai, three of them being Swedish.

The last day of Global Challenge Dubai will feature the playoffs, being played single elimination best-of-three maps. Four teams made their way, all with different background. MYM, the enjoyable-surprise of Group A claimed top spot, as they went through the group stage without a loss. SK Gaming joins MYM in being directly qualified, but having lost one match, being against k23.


SK Gaming still a strong contender for the Dubai trophy.

Vitriolic reached the playoffs by finishing off the last German team, winning 2-0 in the relegation stage against Alternate. The Swedes from fnatic also claimed a 2-0 win, against k23 in the relegation stage and looked really strong. 75% of the teams in the playoffs are Swedish, meaning at least one of the Swedish teams will reach the Grand Final. The matchups for the semifinals are as follows:

SK Gaming have once again been paired with fnatic, a match where fnatic could claim revenge since the loss to SK Gaming in the Grand Final of Global Challenge Chengdu. An interesting match will be seen in the other semifinal, as we have Vitriolic taking on MYM. Vitriolic seem to have regained the high-gear, that they once played on, and MYM should really watch out for the Poles. Vitriolic got the chance to defeat the team currently carrying their former organization tag, will they do so?


The Poles back on track equals a loss for MYM?

The Grand Final at Global Challenge Dubai is scheduled to start at 17:15CET, while the third place decider match is planned to start at 14:30CET. We will once again be on site to follow your through the final stages of Global Challenge Dubai.
