The Danish team has earned spots at back-to-back events in the Middle East.

Lucky and company continue to find success following the addition of MistR

Sashi earned a spot at YaLLa Compass 2024 following a grueling 32-map run through the Spring qualifier, culminating in a 2-1 victory over fnatic in the grand final.

It is the second event in the Middle East that the Danes have qualified for in as many weeks after they beat Cloud9 and Eternal Fire in the Europe qualifier for Esports World Cup 2024 to secure a ticket to the $1,000,000 event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sashi defeat Cloud9 and Eternal Fire in shock EWC qualification run

Philip "⁠Lucky⁠" Ewald and company have now lined up a spot at the $400,000 YaLLa Compass LAN, scheduled for June 5-9 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, where those same two teams will be present alongside the likes of HEROIC and FURIA.

Sashi's qualifying journey for YaLLa Compass spanned three full months and began in the Contenders stage when the roster still represented Espionage.

The team coached by Nicolai "⁠HUNDEN⁠" Petersen recovered from a loss to Permitta in their opening game and won their next three to advance to the main event, which featured another 16-team Swiss group stage.

28/02/2024	Sampi Finished 1:2 Espionage	Match
06/03/2024	Espionage Finished 2:0 Alliance	Match

There, Sashi benefitted from a forfeit by Endpoint, but had to recover from a 1-2 record by beating an in-form BLEED roster and Passion UA to make the playoffs, where four additional teams were directly invited to the second round of the bracket.

C9, Eternal Fire among YaLLa Compass invites

Sashi dispatched of their first opponent, 500, with ease, but only narrowly survived a three-map affair against OG — one of the direct invites — before beating 3DMAX mere days after the Frenchmen qualified for the playoffs of ESL Pro League.

fnatic, also fresh from their Pro League appearance and one of the direct playoff invites, had a good start to the grand final. They went up 6-2 on Sashi's Mirage pick, but completely fell apart after that as the Danish team won 11 rounds straight to lock down their map pick.

fnatic evened the score on Vertigo after capitalizing on some of Sashi's individuals struggling, but Overpass was a show of utter dominance from the Danish team as they ran rampant over fnatic's defenses, 8-4, before sweeping the second half.

HUNDEN and his classified usb pendrive

2024-05-02 23:24

+1 MistR and altekz were a duo like dupreeh magisk , and both get kicked... This lineup could have been fire , but decided to stick with baitF instead.. MistR - budget dupreeh Altekz - budjet magisk Dev1ce was there Gla1ve was there Just get someone for xpy9x spot , or xpy9x itself But baitF ruined another "whatif"

duo that never even played together. MistR never showed any real promise, Altekz however looked like and still looks like he's gonna become something big in a few years

2024-05-03 15:18

they both played toghter in astralis. lmao also mistR was very good at contact plays that open sites all of the sudden. just was cut shortly

2024-05-03 23:38

MistR played from September to December 2022. Altekz played from April to June 2023. they only played together in Astralis Talent, in which they played vs top 100 teams, not top teams like they did individually in main team

2024-05-04 09:20

MistR wasn’t good enough imo, decent player but not much potential there. Altekz on the other hand looked sick, there’s a part of me that still wishes he got more time on the Astralis roster, I think he’ll be a great player at some point.

2024-05-03 18:31

And just to entertain the idea, I think Blame could’ve potentially been the perfect person to fill the Xyp slot, if he was unselfish and willing to take on the roles. He is a smart, consistent and clutch player, it could’ve been perfect :(

2024-05-03 18:34

stop pls

What?

2024-05-03 23:45

insane grind from sashi, well done boys!

lol

2024-05-02 22:41

2024-05-02 22:42

Sucks that many degens wont appreciate the grind. IceBerg really went from doing dishes for food and being stuck in 0,88 rating to conquering the middle east. he is truly my GOAT

if only I had the mentality to grind that much :(

2024-05-02 22:43
