Astralis defeat Movistar Riders in two-day match
The Danes fought off both opponents and server issues in opening victory.
At Roobet Cup 2022 Astralis and Movistar Riders had to wait until today to finish the match that started yesterday. Server issues postponed the match on the first map of Mirage, where Astralis were 7-6 ahead.
The two teams picked off where they left, with Benjamin 'blameF' Bremer continuing his one man army mission for the Danes. blameF crushed the Spaniards ending Mirage with a 33-14 K-D scoreline, which was enough for Astralis to win Movistar Riders’ map pick.
Overpass was next up, which also gave way to Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander returning to the lineup. The in-game leader had been ill yesterday and had been replaced by Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen on the first map. After a fairly even first half, it was Astralis on their CT-side that closed off the match with a stellar defense.
The Danes will take on Cloud9 in the next match, while Movistar Riders need a win against Complexity to stay alive.
