Astralis vs. Heroic

In the all-Danish semi final, the Major champs Astralis had their eyes firmly set on the next trophy by laying down a commanding performance against Heroic. The surprise winners of Group B, that enjoyed a direct path into the semis, stood no chance on both Train and Nuke, dropping both maps to their Danish counterparts with 10-16.

Train: Astralis 16-10 Heroic

FaZe Clan vs. Immortals

Throughout both games, the Europeans managed to keep Immortals firmly at bay, never looking in danger on Inferno and Mirage. Now they’ll have a really tough task ahead of them, going toe to toe against Astralis in what will hopefully be a complete Bo5!
