SK-Gaming defeated Evil Geniuses in the finals of DreamHack Summer 2008 and win close to €3,000!
Third time's a charm, as they say. After two regames, the match could finally conclude. The 40-minute-match was action-packed and SK-Gaming took the advantage early on. And dominating the game, with SK-Gaming really showing their A-game versus Evil Geniuses, the Swedes could claim the win.
Leading with 1-0 already for coming from the winners bracket, only one game was needed for SK-Gaming.

Bogdan said to GosuGamers after the match that they felt that this was their year to win, and they had expected to win. And they had expected that EG would be their opponents in the grand final.
Both teams congratulated each other after the match and stayed for a long time to chat about the games.
