Sashi complete 32-map campaign to qualify for YaLLa Compass 2024

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.

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.

+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"

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

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.

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 :(

Most important question is: was HUNDEN the coach even in the Espionage-times? That's fuckin gold right there!
