BIG advances to IEM Global Challenge playoffs

BIG becomes the first team to cement its name for the IEM Global Challenge playoffs after making a comeback from two huge deficits to travel to semi-finals after defeating Astralis by 2-0 on Vertigo and Dust 2. Danes did put up a great fight before surrendering to BIG who were being led by Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische and Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne, who combined for 105 frags in the series.

Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen from Astralis’ side was also impressive and put up a tough fight for BIG by shutting down pistol round with a quad-kill on the B bombsite but the Germans later thrashed their defensive set up to take the series into their own hands with k1to’s help who posted 0-7 score taking the title of top-fragger for BIG and on Dust2 we saw much of the same moves.
