ESC and FlipSid3 have won their elimination matches against Planetkey Dynamics and myXMG to stay alive at DreamHack Winter.

ESC Gaming had a lengthy break coming into their second match at DreamHack as they had played the group's opener, where they were defeated by LDLC 4-16.

Against Planetkey Dynamics they started off very well on de_mirage's terrorist side - the much harder half of the two - and managed to score nine rounds.

Heavily favored to then close out the match and survive elimination in Jönköping, ESC were able to close the game out 16-13 after a struggle-filled 7-7 defensive half. DreamHack Winter 2014Best of 1 ESCMatchpage 16 13 27th November 2014 Planetkey 16Mirage 13

In the second match Last Call qualifier runner-ups FlipSid3 Tactics took on Danish myXMG, also on the same map as the other match - de_mirage, as drawn randomly after vetos.

Despite a lackluster defensive half with only seven round wins, the Swedes mounted an impressive comeback, culminating in nine round wins for a 16-11 scoreline. DreamHack Winter 2014Best of 1 myXMGMatchpage 11 16 27th November 2014 FlipSid3 11Mirage 16

ESC will now go on to face NiP in the game to decide who advanced from group C, while FlipSid3 will have to go through Na`Vi if they wish to remain in the tournament.
