dateam qualify for Swedish Ch'ship

dateam have booked a spot at the Swedish Championship after winning IOL Sälen with a 2-0 victory of empty.

The two teams had met one another in the group stage, playing out a 15-15 draw in this four-team tournament.

dateam, who earlier this week announced Andre "keiz" Carlsson as a stand-in for Xperia PLAY, attended IOL Sälen with their full line-up and disposed of empty in the final on two maps.

On de_train, dateam got off to a great start and were up by 10-5 at the break, but empty, who feature ex-SK player Mattias "Snajdan" Andersen, responded and took the map to the very last round, which was won by dateam, giving them a 16-14 victory.

de_tuscan was much easier for Emil "striker" Westerberg and his team, who picked up a relaxed 16-4 success after a 11-4 scoreline at half time.

With this result, dateam have qualified for the Swedish Championship, also known as Final4, which will be held at DreamHack Summer from 18-21 June.
