After a strong debut on Monday, Astralis fought tooth and nail against ENCE, resulting in 0-2 in ENCE's favor.

With 'Lucky' still AWPing in place of xyp9x, the team went into battle on Ancient and Nuke, without a need for the deciding Dust 2. Astralis picked Nuke, while ENCE picked Ancient.

In the deciding second game, Astralis fought a great first half going 8:7 on T-side. However, ENCE's T-side proved a serious threat ending the game 11:16

Game 1 on Ancient ended 9:16, despite strong efforts from riflers dupreeh and Magisk.

Next match is against American team 'Bad News Bear' who so far has lost both their matches in the group.
