With a win against Liquid a few days ago, the Danish Squad went into Ancient with confidence that the Bo1 would go their way; and it sure did!

With few setbacks in the first half, the Danish squad went into the second half with a 10-5 score.
The second half was a short affair when the Danes won their sixth round and hereby moved on to the Upper Bracket Finals with a score of 16-10. Losing the first two rounds on their T side did not affect the Danes, who retaliated with three great rounds. After that, Liquid took home the next three rounds, followed by the Danes doing the same to finish the game in style.
