In the 3rd place decider at IEM6 World Championship, Lions managed to surprise SK Gaming and come back from a devastating 2-16 loss on de_mirage, to win the match in the next two maps, 16-7 on de_inferno and 16-9 on de_nuke.

The two group winners from the earlier stage of the competition at IEM6 World Championship, SK Gaming and Lions, lost their semi-final matches earlier today which meant they would play the 3rd place decider in a fight for an $8,000 prize.

The match kicked off on de_mirage where SK Gaming showed complete domination after starting on the CT-side, winning it 13-2 and closing the match right away at the 16-2 result.

Even though Lions seemed completely distraught during the first map, they somehow gather up some strength and retaliated on de_inferno. Starting on the CT-side Lions fought off the first seven attacks by SK, and later secured a 13-2 lead at half time. After the change of sides, SK started coming back by winning four in a row, but it wasn't enough as soon after Lions clinched the map with a 16-7 score.

The decider ended up being de_nuke, where Lions played off of their momentum, while SK was still unable to get back into the game, although being on the less favored T-side. The scoreboard at the half-time said 11-4 advantage for Lions, and SK would have to produce a pretty big come back in order to finish 3rd.

They started off on the right foot by winning the pistol and the next anti-eco, but Lions cut them off thanks to an ace by Jim "zneel" Andersson in a 2vs5 situation to take a 12-6 lead. They slowly built on that lead with a few close round wins and finally managed to take the overall win with a 16-9 score.
