It's been an action-packed week for both the Women and the Talent team. Headlining this week is Astralis Talent, who secured a spot on the POWER Liga Playoffs, and the Woman's team playing their first ESL Impact match.
On Wednesday, March 6, the blue-shirted players from Astralis played three matches in the Danish POWER Liga. It wasn't the prettiest as IMA PROBLEM succeeded in a comeback in the first match on Overpass, but that was quickly forgotten as they dominated CEPTER BITSKINS on Ancient a few hours later.
By beating CEPTER BITSKINS, they gained enough points (24) to secure a top-four spot in the league, meaning playoffs are secured no matter what. Later that same evening Andreas "kiR" Kirstein and his troops were defeated by Atlantic on Nuke.
If I had a dollar for every time Astralis Talent faced Permitta - I would have a few. The two rosters have often met in 2024, with results going both ways, but this time, the Danes prevailed in a best-of-three match.
The Ukrainian team, Passion UA, was too big of a task in the Upper Bracket Semi-Final and, unfortunately, took the win 1-2 against the Danes.
It was a short-lived Talent team that participated in the IEM Dallas Open Qualifier #2 as they fell short in round three (the first match was a walkover) versus School of Magic.
Remaining undefeated in the POWER League with a beautiful 13-7 win on Vertigo.
Unfortunate loss for Aurora 'aurora' Lyngdal and her team on a BO3 in the ESEA Open again Silencers.
The Womens team faced off against BIG EQUIPA as their first oppenent in the prestigious ESL Impact League. They proved to difficult a task as they went 0-2 in a BO3.
