Spirit dominating on Dust2

Donk & Co. ensured everyone knew it was their map pick by winning the map 5-13. It became a close first half, 5-7, but then Spirit switched gears in the second half where the Danes couldn't catch up.

Stavn Goes Crazy on Vertigo

Martin "stavn" Lund went crazy on Vertigo, securing crucial rounds and ending the game with 22 frags, a whopping 2.34 rating, and an ADR of132.2.

The Danes completely controlled the whole match, only giving away three rounds.

Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz also had his moments, including an incredibly 3v1 clutch on the B-site. The Danish quintet claimed the victory 13-3.

One-sided Affair on Ancient

Spirit abused the B-site a few times and had done their homework on the T-site, leading 3-9 at half-time. There was a huge task ahead for the Danes if they wanted to reach the Grand Final.

Despite a 2v1 clutch by Victor "Staehr" Staehr, the Main team didn't come back into the game, losing the final map 5-13 and the semi-final 1-2.

The Main squad were defeated 1-2 by Team Spirit in the Semi-final.

The support during the tournament has been overwhelming - thank you!

The Main squad has a few weeks to practice before they're seen on the server again at the Europe RMR B for the Shanghai Major 2024.

What's next?

• The next tournament for the Main squad is the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 Europe RMR B.

• Their first match is against 9 Pandas on November 21, 2024.
