SK and fnatic have won their first matches in the Inferno Online FINAL4 Season 2 tournament, after seeing off H2k-Gaming and Meet Your Makers respectively.
When fnatic took on Meet Your Makers, it surely did not turn out to be a walk in the park for Patrick "cArn" Sättermoen and his trusty crew. The Swedes in MYM put up a tough fight, but ultimately had to face defeat on two maps.
Starting on de_inferno, fnatic had to shift into high gear to overcome MYM. Stepping up fnatic's game paid off, and the team could finally seal a 16-11 win. On de_dust2, MYM kept on going strong, but this was not enough as fnatic pulled off a close 16-14 victory.

It may seem that SK Gaming's change of in-game leader, from Dennis "walle" Wallenberg to Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström, has paid off. H2k could not withstand SK's attacks, and had to face defeat at 16-9 on de_nuke. On de_train, SK steam-rolled H2k with a 16-3 win.
Whether SK can pull their same stint off against fnatic remains to be seen, as the match between the Swedish giants will start shortly. Meet Your Makers on the other hand, will have to prove their strength against H2k.
