Astralis advances to EPL Semis

With victories over Inferno (13-9) and Overpass (13-7), Astralis easily defeated Liquid 2-0 to secure a semi-final position in the ESL Pro League. It was the first time that Casper "cadiaN" Møller and Martin "stavn" Lund and Jakob "jabbi" Nygaard had faced each other since the dramatic exit from HEROIC. With a commanding victory, the Astralis team stole the show.

Liquid lost opportunities to draw equal with Inferno or possibly take the map home. In any case, Astralis had a great answer to Liquid's defense in the last moments, correctly anticipating cadiaN's gamble stacks on A to win handily. The Danish team found Overpass to be far more comfortable. Nicolai "device" Reedtz gave a classic performance to guarantee his team's comparatively easy sailing. With this win, Astralis advances to the semi-finals, where they will face the winners of the Vitality vs. FaZe match.
