"This has been brutal, absolutely brutal!"
These were the starkly honest words from the commentators during the match against 00NATION in the semi-finals of Pinnacle Cup V back in August.
The main team, already reeling from a defeat on Mirage, was staring down a daunting 15-2 deficit on the second map, Overpass. For blameF and his team, nothing seemed to be going right, and it appeared their luck had run out. However, faced with a 15-2 deficit and floundering on the offensive, the Danish team managed a phenomenal turnaround in the second half, delivering a stunning performance on the CT side, securing victory in 13 consecutive rounds.
In a twist of fate, the stars aligned perfectly for the Danish quintet, paving the way for a miraculous recovery from the brink of defeat. They rallied from the depths, evening the score at 15-15.
The commentators couldn't contain their excitement, with one exclaiming, "This actually happened! We're going to overtime; are you kidding me!?" And the co-host chimed in, adding, "This is Zonic's law on cr***! It's genuinely insane!" (Danny "zonic" Sørensen once said that having an 11-4 lead is the scariest lead.).

At the time, Victor "Staehr" Staehr was asked about the extraordinary duel on Overpass, and the young, talented rifler quickly stated that he considered the remarkable comeback against 00NATION one of the most impressive he's experienced in competitive play so far.
Despite the challenging defeat in the end, he emphasized that the energy within the Danish Quintet was electrifying during the incredible 13-round winning streak on Overpass. This particular turn of events is something he'll remember personally.
- This is one of the most remarkable comebacks I've ever been a part of. We could only focus on winning one round at a time, and initially, it felt incredibly daunting given that we were trailing 2-15.
