Last night saw Sweden take on Ukraine; and Norway take on Romania in a tense battle to decide the last eight of the Clanbase NationCup XI.

Swedenvs. Ukraine2-0

Many considered this to be the game of the evening, especially after the recent news of SpawN rejoining the ranks of SK. The viewers and followers of the NationCup all wanted SpawN to play, and reality met their hopes as SpawN connected to the server. He played well, as did the entire Swedish team and he memorably clutched a 3v1 situation for Sweden. Many are now claiming that Abdisamad "SpawN" Mohamed is back to playing at the highest level of CS. Sweden were simply to strong for Ukraine and they took the game two maps to none – progressing to the next round.

Norwayvs. Romania 2-1

Personally, I feel that this was the game of the night - it was tense right until the last moment. The first map selected was de_train, which Norway took, then the game progressed to de_nuke; where Romania fought to win. To continue the battle, the game was taken to a third map - de_dust2, where Norway clinched it and managed to progress through to the Quarter Finals.

de_train- Norway 16:7 Romania
de_nuke- Norway 11:16 Romania
