In the deciding second game, Astralis had a slow start with the first half going 4:11. Despite a strong performance from the new AWPer Lucky, Astralis' top fragger of the match, the team ended the series in a dire 0:2 loss.

This week's final match is against Danish Heroic, who have dominated the group thus far, not losing a single game against their opponents. For Astralis to continue to playoffs, they will have to beat Heroic and hope Bad News Bear beat ENCE in the preceding match to avoid a tiebreaker in ENCE's favor.
