Still a Chance to Make the Playoffs

Our squad still has a chance to make it to the playoffs as the top three teams of each group advance.

We have two matches left in the group stage before the cut: facing ENCE at 14:30 CEST and The Mongols at 19:00 CEST.

With two victories, our lineup will advance to the quarterfinals. However, with only one win, we will need other results to go in our favor and maintain a positive round difference compared to ENCE and The Mongols.

NIP Ended Our 6-0 Win Streak on Ancient

Although our team showed up with a superior win rate on Ancient over the past three months, boasting a 6-0 win streak on this map, the Swedish opponents managed to defeat our Danish lineup in this (almost) Scandinavian face-off, ending our impressive streak.

To make the defeat even more bittersweet, Head Coach Casper "ruggah" Due's team was leading on the scoreboard 7-5 in the first half and then 9-7 on the offensive side in the latter.

From there on, it was a closely contested match, including a dramatic 11-11 tie near the end. However, the Swedes drew the longest straw and eventually closed out the BO1 clash with their third win in Abu Dhabi, showing a strong performance on the CT side in the second half with an 8-4 scoreline.

  • Alexander "br0" Bro had the best rating among our players, with a 1.07 rating, the most assists (8), and the best KAST (75.0%).
  • Martin "stavn" Lund secured the most kills (17) and the best ADR (85.4).
  • The Ukrainian Artem "r1nkle" Moroz boasted the highest rating (1.52), the highest average damage (106.7), the most kills (23), and the most AWP kills (15).
