RobbaN: "SK's chances? 50/50"

We got hold of SK Gaming ace Robert "RobbaN" Dahlström ahead of his team's classic against fnatic at the Extreme Masters World Championship.

SK Gaming secured a spot in the semi-finals after finishing on top of Group B with 12 points from five matches, are now off to take on arch-rivals fnatic in one of the most anticipated match-ups this tournament could provide.

Dahlström reckons a good start will be key to take down fnatic and stated that he believes this match will be special for his newest team-mate, Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl.

"I'm really looking forward to playing this game, going to be really fun for Gux as he played for fnatic last year,it is going to be a tough game, but hopefully we will come up with the victory," Dahlström told HLTV.org. "Of course we need some luck, we need to win the pistol rounds, we want to get a good start, we usually lose the first pistol round, we want to try to win it to get the momentum going."

When asked about his team's chances for the encounter, he rated them as "50/50". "It can go either way," he added.

Despite the importance of this match, Dahlström stressed SK had no special preparation, saying, "We tried to relax yesterday, we were out shopping in the centre, we just took it easy."

Should SK beat fnatic, they will meet Na´Vi in the finals, and Dahlström is confident his team can come out on top.

"They [Na'Vi] suit us well, they are just crazy aimers, I do not think they're so good tactical-wise, they do different stuff from other teams, but if we beat fnatic and face Na´Vi in the final, we will be prepared," he added.
