Team9 vs. zEx (ESWC 2003) (Click to Download)
It was the first ESWC final, the first major event to use maxrounds 15, and the way the brackets were set meant everyone was expecting a momentus clash of SK vs. team9 in the finals. Then zEx upset SK and got to the final instead. For the Americans this game was a very hard lesson in how to play maxrounds 15 dust2 Counter-Strike under the old money system. vesslan's team9 whose foundations were tactics and teamplay completely dominated the Americans who had looked so good against all other opposition. It's not often you see names like Volcano and shaGuar completely shut out on dust2 but they were in this game.
SK.swe vs. team9 (CPL Summer 2003) (Click to Download)
team9 had been hot for a few months winning Clikarena and ESWC but they'd done so without facing SK.swe, SK having been knocked out in both competitions by the 2nd placing teams. Also SK had dominated team9 at CPL Cannes early in the year so the psychological battle was set. Both teams made their way to the finals and the all-Swedish final, with the exception of element, saw the two best teams in the world battle it out to see who would win $60k for first place. This was also the moment the legendary SK.swe run began, this win started what was for a long time considered the best tournament run in CS history.
SK.swe vs. NoA (CPL Winter 2003) (Click to Download)
SK.swe had won everything since their element-led lineup had gotten into the swing of things and now they were set to win yet another event in 2003. Facing them was a team who would go on to be one of the most loved of all time, NoA. NoA had come from nowhere to beat a number of top teams and now faced the most dominant team of all time in SK.swe. The match was classic SK.swe as they executed when they had to, won the clutch situations they needed to and basically showed you can beat any team no matter how hot they are running and how good their players may be individually. This is a team against a bunch of great players.
SK.swe vs Virtus.Pro (ESWC 2004) (Click to Download)
After their incredible 2003 SK.swe had lost element to NoA. Still with a very solid five man lineup including SpawN, which had been good enough for a WCG gold, the team looked set to take some more trophies in 2004. At ESWC they were once more upset by a talented underdog team. This time it was Russia's Virtus.Pro, who until that point absolutely nobody would have considered capable of beating the mighty SK. With standout AWPing and generally top notch play Virtus.Pro set about creating the upset of the tournament to shock one of the would-be favourites. Virtus.Pro practically lived off this victory alone for a number of years after, that's how big it was at the time and in people's minds.
Turmoil vs. compLexity (WCG USA 2009) (Click to Download)
coL should have been in the final of the WCG USA qualifier or so it seemed. They'd been co-favourites for the event with EG and now they faced a semi-final game against Turmoil. Then again Turmoil had just taken the full strength EG to the limit on LAN at GameGune Mexico. This game saw Turmoil overcome a big first half from coL to win the game in a real nail biter coL players will be waking up in a cold sweat over for months to come. Was evolution's AWP not quite as good as it could have been? Did coL buckle under the pressure of the Turmoil comeback? Were Turmoil really the #2 team in the US? Whatever the reason this game was a real war and shows the streaky nature of dust2 when a team gets full control and momentum.
