Heroic upset Astralis on their way to the grand final

The first map, Dust2, was barely a contest, as Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz's team picked up a 16-4 victory after a dominant 13-2 CT side. Trouble came on Cobblestone, famously one of Astralis' worst maps, where HEROIC posted a solid nine-round defence and finished it off at 16-13 on the offence.

The series was decided on Overpass, historically one of, if not the, best maps of Denmark's number one team. While none of Astralis' players finished significantly above 1.00 rating, Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander, Andreas "⁠MODDII⁠" Fridh and Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså put in most of the work as they completed the upset at 16-13.
