"Don't peek the KING"

About three weeks ago, the main squad played the Group Stage at ESL Pro League Season 18 and qualified for the playoffs through the lower bracket.

The voice communication from the group stage has been recorded and edited into a 12-minute video, where you can relive all the obscure highlights, including Benjamin "blameF" Bremer naming himself the king after a crazy play.

Despite a loss against Ninjas in Pyjamas in the first match, the banter between blameF and former Astralis player Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke was hilarious to witness.

The spirit was high in the 2-0 victory versus ORKS, but for a brief moment, the captain was unsatisfied as Christian "Buzz" Andersen stole his ACE.

Tension was high facing FURIA

Already in the pistol round, the energy level was high as the Danish squad claimed a 2-0 win against GamerLegion.

While facing FURIA the tension was high, which can be seen in the video at the score 14-13 on the second map.
