In the Bo1 battle on Nuke, Fredrik “roeJ” Jørgensen and the rest of Copenhagen Flames dominated the match from the very beginning, where they succeeded to set up a stellar CT defence which got them a 12-3 score going into the switch.
It was especially roeJ and his heroics who led CPH Flames to the impressive victory, as the veteran posted an impeccable performance for the second time in a row at this Major. The loss for BIG means that they go 1-1 in the overall Swiss standing, while Flames have set themselves in the lead with their 2-0 record.
