It could have been a huge Sunday for the Danish Organization Tricked.
At 13.00 CET, the Danes started the day playing a bo5 Grand Final at the Epic GOCL Season 2 against 500 from Bulgaria. Their opponents had the upperhand with a 1-0 map advantage before going into the match. Tricked came out strong winning the first two maps. On their own map pick of Overpass, the Danes had the opportunity to seal the tournament win, but on their CT side everything fell apart. The Danes lost 16-9 and were now 2-2 in maps in the Grand Final.
At this point, the match had been 3½ hours long, which was a problem for Tricked. The Danes were set to face Astralis at the CCT North Europe Series 2 at 16.30 CET. A match that seemingly could not be postponed led Tricked to withdraw from the Grand Final. They took home $12.500 for second, while 500 could enjoy winning $25.000 for the first place.
Tricked then went on to lose against Astralis after being dominated on their own map pick of Nuke.
A sad Sunday for Tricked. Luckily there is already a new tournament starting today…
