Five remain in Katowice Nordic finals

After one day of competition, three of eight teams have been knocked out and five remain in the Nordic regional finals for EMS One Katowice.

Friday started with ENCE, now featuring Timi "aslak" Verkkoperä, knocking Swedish highgrade out 2-0 after a convincing 16-8 win on de_inferno, followed by a nail-biting 21-19 overtime win on de_dust2.

Assembly Winter winners H2k Gaming then prevailed over an ESC Gaming lineup, featuring SK Gaming's Marcus "Delpan" Larsson as a stand-in. The Norwegians came through 2-1 with 16-7 and 21-18 wins on maps two and three.

Finally Minttu, now without Verkkoperä, fell short against their Assembly opponents partyastronauts, despite winning opening map de_inferno 16-12. They lost de_dust2 10-16 and de_nuke 8-16 and were knocked out.

Pimp's n! will continue their TBA match today 

Final quarter-final match was supposed to be n!faculty versus Swedish TBA, led by Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi, but the game had to be postponed at a 13-13 score on first map de_nuke due to internet problems.

n!faculty's match is expected to be completed sometime today before the semi-finals are scheduled to start, though the exact schedule for the match is as of writing unclear.
