A New Smoke Criminal in Town

It all went down on Mirage, where ENCE won the knife and chose to start on the CT side. Being on the attacking side was problem-free for the Danes, which was shown as they gained a decisive 8-1 lead. Astralis' sixth round was marvelous as Jakob "jabbi" Nygaard found himself alone versus four opponents on the B-site. Thanks to a smoke on the bomb, which he could hide in, he killed the defuser and claimed the round.

The Danes continued to dominate in the second half, winning the four remaining rounds and claiming a 13-3 victory.

• jabbi was magnificent on Mirage, reaching a 17-8 K/D and an incredible 1.95 rating.
• Victor "Staehr" Staehr controlled Krzysztof 'Goofy' Górski by winning four out of five duels against the Polish player.
• The captain, Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz, achieved the most assists in the game (8).
