The Danish team put up an impressive game during the quarters even after being transparent about the issues they were facing in the events and they also hinted at the upcoming changes. Xyp9x was a standout player during the series, who said, before the match, that they were not satisfied with just winning the quarters and gave his best to ensure the victory over Vitrus.pro.
