Just as the gunround ended in favor of SK Gaming, the network died at Extreme Masters, resulting in that the match had to be restarted from 0-0. Why may you ask? Well, rules says that the match must be restarted if one or more players crash or disconnects within the first three rounds. Due to that, the match started from 0-0. fnatic was able to win the T side on de_train 10-5. That's quite many T rounds, on a map as de_train, where the CT's normally gather mosts rounds.
