After a bitter defeat in the opening round in an intense and closely contested match against Natus Vincere, dev1ce and Co. were undoubtedly fueled by a burning desire to strike back in the Group A lower bracket final the following day, facing SAW.
Sure enough, the Main team secured their first win in London with a dominant performance on Dust2 and a commanding victory on Inferno, making it a confident 2-0 series victory against the Portuguese side. SAW was sent home packing after a harsh defeat with two one-sided battles, leaving no need for our guys to show up on the decider map, Nuke.
Our team is through to the playoffs and quarter-finals, which take place on Friday, June 14, at 17:00 CEST.
As the 3rd place team in Group A, we will face off against the runner-up in Group B, which will either be Spirit or Virtus.pro.
With a solid defensive showing on the CT side, our lineup left no room for their Portuguese opponents to set up anything successful on the T side.
The Portuguese roster continued to attack Bombsite A, but with little effect, as dev1ce and his team were in complete control this time, unlike the previous day.
Securing an 8-4 lead before switching sides at halftime, it was only a matter of time before the Danes took home the first map win at the BLAST Premier Spring Final in London.
The Danes quickly made it 5-3 on the T side and ultimately won 13-6.
Casper "ruggah" Due's troops continued to ride their momentum into their map pick, Inferno, where they were once again in total control.
This time around, dev1ce and Co. delivered a masterclass T-side performance, making it 9-3 before halftime. In the latter half, the Danes wrapped things up quickly with a 4-0 lead, resulting in a dominating win on Inferno with a final score of 13-3.
