A mixture of Danish and Swedish teams had found their way to Boomtown internet café in Copenhagen. At stake was an invitation to DreamHack Summer, including travel and entry-fee, plus getting directly to the 32-team bracket, meaning skipping the eventual group-stage.
Major favourite to win the qualifier was KODE5 champions mTw. But a new Danish team on the scene wanted it different. Team mates and mTw faced each other in the grand final on de_nuke.
mTw could choose CT, as they won the knife-round. The ball went back and forth and the teams switched to take rounds, team mates could take home last round of first half and change sides with 8-7 score as T.
As CT team mates should be happy they had a Friis on-fire the first couple of rounds. The ramp was completely locked down and mTw had no luck entering at all. mTw did find some of the comeback-momentum as we have seen them do before, but it simply didn’t do it this time. Team mates managed 1on1 to secure the win with 16:13 score.
