The first map on Overpass was not a good showing at all for Astralis, as Fnatic easily took the map 16-6, a far cry from their flawless run during the group stage. flusha had a field day, ending the map with a 2.36 KDR.

Going into the second map, Cache — a signature map for Fnatic — it looked incredibly grim for Astralis. This was true for their first half on the T-side, which ended 10-5 in the Swede's favor. To make matters worse, they also won the second pistol round and the round following, but Astralis activated beast mode and started winning round after round.

The Danes went huge and took 11 rounds in a row, ending the map 16-12 and they forced a third map.

The deciding map of the set was Inferno and, like the maps before, Astralis were put on the back foot in the first half 4-11. There was some hope in the second half, but Astralis were shut down, losing the map 7-16.

With the loss, Astralis have been eliminated from the tournament, finishing in the Top 4. Fnatic move on to face Luminosity Gaming in the Grand Finals tomorrow.
