By winning 2-0 against both NAVI (#1) and MOUZ (#4), the Danes are the winners of Group A and have earned themselves a spot in the Semi-final and a resting day at the BLAST Premier World Final 2024.



On Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 12:30 CET, the Danish organization will play their first Semi-final in about five months, the latest being at YaLLa Compass 2024, where they were beaten 1-2 by The MongolZ, who went on to win the event.

Thus, this will be the first semi-final and playoff run with Casper "cadiaN" Møller as captain. Team Spirit will be on the other side of the server when things kick off at the Resorts World Convention Centre stage in Singapore.

Seeking Revenge

The two teams recently met at the BLAST Premier Fall Final, the first tournament for cadiaN in the Astralis jersey, which came down to margins. 13-3, but the Russian team responded by claiming Dust2 5-13.


Despite a heroic effort from Victor "Staehr" Staehr and Jakob "jabbi" Nygaard on the final map, Danil "donk" Kryshkovets & Co. reached the finish line millimeters before the Danes, who were beaten 11-13.


Last Head to Head Fixture
