GODSENT are the first team through to the playoffs at DreamHack ZOWIE Open Winter 2016 after beating Kinguin 16-12 in Group A's winners' match.

The match began with GODSENT successful in their a fast A execute, with Markus "⁠pronax⁠" Wallsten getting three kills to his name. The Swedes were unable to follow it up, however, as Kinguin won the force buy with a B hold. That was the start of a great run from the Polish team, who were playing aggressively without ever getting punished as the majority of the duels were going their way.

Down 8-2, GODSENT went for a fast A execute, which caught Kinguin's players off-guard. The Swedes finally appeared to have found their comfort zone as they continued amassing rounds, with the half ending in a surprisingly close 8-7 scoreline.



GODSENT through to the playoffs

GODSENT carried their momentum into the second half and won the first four rounds to take the lead for the first time since the opening round. Kinguin then picked up a round, but they were unable to build on that, leaving them strapped for cash.

The Polish team decided to call a timeout to discuss their strategy for the next rounds, and went on an eco push towards A, hoping to at least plant the bomb. They did much more than that, however, as they won the round with a great hold. Kinguin eventually added the next two rounds to bring the deficit to a minimum, but GODSENT would not let a comeback happen as they won three rounds straight to lock down the map, 16-12.
