dignitas send CLG packing

The elimination match of Group A brought together Dignitas who lost to their fellow countrymen in their opening match, and CLG who couldn't put up a fight against Gambit. The battle to stay in the tournament was on Cobblestone with CLG on the starting on the CT-side.

Dignitas secured the pistol round with René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg's opening kill and made it 3-0 after winning the anti-ecos. Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel's triple opening kill in the fourth round worsened the situation for CLG who trailed 0-4.

Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik almost clutched a 1vs3 but RUBINO came on top, extending the lead to 6-0. CLG were able to stop Dignitas for once but the Danes replied immediately. The North American called for a timeout when the score was 9-1 but it didn't work as Dignitas led 14-1 at halftime.

RUBINO's quad kill in the second half pistol round summarized the match and Dignitas finished the match off 16-1.
