In a tense lower bracket clash of ESL Pro League, the main team faced Complexity in a best-of-three match that went the distance.

Both maps extended into overtime, but the Danish roster fell short in back-to-back overtimes, forcing them into the Group C Last Chance Stage.

On Vertigo, the Danes started strong on the CT side, racing to a 9-3 lead.

However, they struggled on the T-side, despite reaching map point, and ultimately fell in double overtime. An intense map where Jakob "jabbi" Nygaard's individual brilliance stood out despite the loss.

On the second map of Inferno, it was a close fight, with both halves ending 6-6.

In overtime, despite Martin "stavn" Lund's standout performance, the squad couldn’t close it out, falling to Complexity once again.

The team now moves on to face Rooster on Friday, September 13th, at 16:30 CEST in a do-or-die matchup. As always, you can catch all the action on astralis.gg/watch
