The second pistol round—a vital one for the Danes—did eventually go Dignitas’s way. With the first three rounds of the half in the bag, Dignitas needed the round if the beginning of a comeback was to happen. In a match full of big individual plays, it was René "cajunb" Borg’s turn to put up a multi-kill round, with four scalps under his belt including a 1vs2 clutch.
FaZe would turn it around the following round, however, winning two rounds and getting themselves on match point. Slowly but surely, Dignitas started to make a game of it, winning the crucial rounds and putting FaZe on the financial backfoot all the way to being within five rounds of the European combine, 15-10.
After FaZe called for a timeout, it was still the Danish side holding the match’s momentum, keeping the wall up and tallying one more round. However, in an uncommon fashion FaZe closed it out on an eco round with a final score of 16-11.
