  • Opponent: 00NATION (International)
  • Tournament: Pinnacle Cup V, Semi-final
  • Result: 1-2 (11-16 MIRAGE, 28-26 OVERASS, 9-16 NUKE)

It was a short stint in Pinnacle Cup V for the main team as they were defeated 1-2 by 00NATION in the Semi-final.

Trying out Mirage

The match began on Mirage, the opponent’s map pick.

Surprisingly enough, the legendary map came through the veto, as it’s usually a permanent ban for the Danes.

After a relatively slow start, where 00NATION took the lead 1-5, the Danish squad tied up the score at 6-6, but the opponents still won the first half 6-9.

00Nation won the map 11-16.

The CRAZIEST Comeback

The winning ways continued for the opponents on Overpass, as they achieved map and match point at a 2-15 scoreline. Everything seemed lost.

Benjamin "blameF" Bremer and Co. then made an incredible comeback to secure overtime by maintaining great mental strength. 13 rounds in a row.

The suspense was unbearable. It ultimately came down to four overtimes until the Danish quintet evened the overall match score by winning 28-26.

With 44 frags and a 1.23 rating, blameF took the lead on Overpass.

Out of Steam

Nuke was the final map, but the Danes were slow starters once again. 00Nation was up 2-6, but with help from Johannes "b0RUP" Borup and Christian "Buzz" Andersen, some rounds were scraped together for the half to end 6-9. In the end, 00NATION claimed the victory with a 9-16 victory and won the match 1-2.
