The Danish quintet began their campaign in the CTT Global Finals 2024 with a convincing victory against BIG in the opening match of Group D. Led by Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz, the team set a strong tone for the tournament with their dominant performance.

The Danes started out strong on Dust II, dominating the first six rounds on their CT side with near-perfect execution, but closed the half at 7-5.

Despite losing the pistol round on the T side, the team quickly regrouped, decisively winning the remaining six rounds to clinch the map 13-6. Thus, they secured a victory in their first official game on the map since it reentered the map pool.

The beginning of Nuke seemed a mirror of Dust II, with the Danes struggling initially and trailing 0-6 on their T side.

However, they managed to secure a 4-8 half. The switch to the CT side marked a dramatic turnaround, as the team won nine consecutive rounds to take the map 13-8.
