This tournament was the first for Andreas 'Xyp9x' Højselth since May. The support player redeemed his nickname as the Clutch Minister with several important impact rounds, but in the end, it wasn't quite enough to pull the team over the finish line.

As coach Danny 'zonic' Sørensen got hit by a migraine shortly before the match, Lucas 'Bubzkji' Andersen joined the team on TeamSpeak during the match to assist. Due to this, Astralis' entire six-man roster was active during the game.
