In the second semi-final, ESC Gaming, whose star player Andreas "MODDII" Fridh should be back for tomorrow's matches after missing out today due to attending a LAN tournament, will meet another Danish mix, SKELETON-KINGZ.

Even without their star player, ESC Gaming strolled through the first three rounds without any trouble against the likes of Latvian team Headache and Finnish squad aNimus-Gaming. SKELETON-KINGZ however did have trouble, especially in the second round against British team decerto when they pulled through to overtime and eventually won 19-15 on de_forge.
