Heroic wins Danish Derby and qualifies for the Playoffs
It was an all-Danish brawl for a spot in the next stage at PGL Stockholm.
The fight for the title as the best Danish CS:GO team was at stake in the match between Heroic and Copenhagen Flames. Astralis's exit earlier today has left the Danish CS:GO throne up for grabs.
First, it looked like Heroic would claim the honors without much resistance. On Nuke it was the two newest additions to the Heroic roster, Ismail 'refrezh' Ali and Rasmus 'sjuush' Beck who led the assault on Copenhagen Flames, that never really had anything going for them in the match. An 11-4 lead at the break was quickly converted to a 16-4 win.
Copenhagen Flames have shown earlier in the Major and at the IEM Fall event, that they have a solid map pool. Ancient is one of them, which Heroic got to experience first hand. Nico 'nicoodoz' Tamjidi was the man of the hour for the Flames, who slowly grinded their way to a map win 16-13.
The third map was set on Overpass. After losing the pistol, Heroic took the game by the scruff of the neck, winning the next six rounds as CPH struggled to stabilize their defense. Despite the streak, CPH managed to find their right footing towards to end of the half, but Heroic still took the lead, 8-7. Copenhagen Flame didn't put up a dominant enough defense to turn things around, and Heroic secured the map, 16-11.
