If there is a God, he’s a poet.

Astralis’ trail down the left hand path of Counter-Strike has led to them stepping on fingers, burning bridges and ruining relationships - but it was seen as worthwhile, for the ends would justify the means.

Astralis left a line of bodies behind them. The problem is that they forgot to make sure they were all dead.

ENCE found themselves in a 2-2 game having only lost to Vitality and Spirit, which seems… well, fair enough. Astralis lost to Spirit too, but also to Heroic - which is, frankly, hilarious.

The Kingdom of Denmark sends its regards. No refunds.

The narrative Gods delivered us a perfect game - ENCE, with the hero gla1ve and his thirst for revenge, against the pantomime villain Astralis. It delivered.

gla1ve charged into battle face first, and put Astralis to the sword. He had plenty of help, of course, but he was the star of the show if not just because of who he is.

stavn and Jabbi completely disappeared, as if it were a film being produced in the most cliché Marvel-esque fashion. They have become the latest duo of Danish stars to be ruined by Astralis in record time.

We’re sure there’s nothing going on there.

Astralis have another chance to qualify through the Last Chance Qualifier starting today, starting with 9 Pandas, while gla1ve can sit back with his pipe and prepare for Copenhagen.
