Astralis beat CLG

CLG started as Counter-Terrorists on Train. Although Astralis managed to plant in the pistol round, the North American could retake the B bombsite and defuse the bomb. In the first buy for the Danes, Stephen "⁠reltuC⁠" Cutler had a triple kill that helped his team secure the 3-0 lead.

Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth saved an AWP and Astralis bought once again. However, the B defense was looking strong as the next two rounds were won by the North American team at the inner bombsite. The Danish team had to eco, which meant a 6-0 lead for CLG.

Ethan "⁠Ethan⁠" Arnold opened up the seventh round with a double kill at B, but Xyp9x's triple kill had a bigger impact as his team was able to win their first round. After losing two rounds in a row, CLG had to eco as the scoreline was 6-3.

In the tenth round, Xyp9x clutched a 1v2 and from that point his team was able to tie 6-6. Following the draw, another B execution from the Terrorists had guaranteed one more round for CLG. The North American didn't give up and won the following two for a first half 9-6 lead.

The Danes let their opponents plant in the second pistol round, but they had secured it after a bombsite retake. This meant CLG could buy after an eco, which was what the North American did with a fast and well-succeeded B execution for a 10-8 lead. From that point, Astralis kept winning until they were leading 13-10.

Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen's quad-kill in the 24th round helped his team secure another round, but Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz's squad was stronger than the North American side as they only lost two rounds as Counter-Terrorists and finished the game 16-11.

PotM: Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth is our Player of the Match as he had 21 kills and the biggest ADR (98.2) of the match. He also contributed in 82% of the rounds, had a good CT-side and did some key rounds as Terrorist - including a 1v2 clutch that helped his team tie the match 6-6.
