Heroic and NiP to DH Valencia playoffs

HEROIC had a confident showing on their first day in Spain, starting the event with a win against Misfits despite the North American side putting up a good fight at the beginning of their matchup on Overpass.

However, after going down 6-3 on the CT side, HEROIC were able to close out the half with a 9-6 lead which was enough for them to finish the game with a confident 16-8 scoreline.

MODDII had a great first day in Valencia

After that, the Danes went on to face KPI, who secured a place in the winners match by upsetting Envy on Train earlier in the tournament. The Spaniards weren't able to repeat that performance against HEROIC on Mirage, as Andreas "⁠MODDII⁠" Fridh was once again having a great game, helping his team stay in a comfortable lead for the majority of the match.

In the end, it was another 16-8 victory, as Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen clutched a 1v2 with a smoke defuse to finish the game.

Ninjas in Pyjamas's road to the playoff started by facing their old teammate Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill and his new squad Red Reserve. The Swedish derby didn't deliver a lot of excitement, however, as the veteran side was able to win the few tight rounds to finish the game on Inferno with a convincing 16-3 scoreline.

The whole NiP side stepped up to the task in Valencia

The first half of Overpass against CLG was a similar story, as Ninjas in Pyjamas ran away with the lead early on, picking up 8 rounds before the North Americans got on the board.

After a poor, 12-3 half, CLG were able to bounce back on the CT side despite a second-round anti-eco fumble and get the deficit down to only four rounds, making it 14-10. However, Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström's side was able to close out the game from that point onwards, securing a day off in Valencia and a spot in the semi-finals.
