k0nfig helps Astralis overpower NIP with ease

Astralis and NIP faced each other with a slightly different roster, but Astralis overpowered riding on the big performance by Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke. At the BLAST Premier Fall Final Astralis handed a debut to k0nfig and Benjamin "blameF" Bremer, while NIP had brought in Patrick "es3tag" Hansen to replace Linus "LNZ" Holtäng ahead of the competition.

But the Danish side pulled off a big win on Nuke 16-7 and Overpass 19-16 to move to the upper bracket semis while pushing NIP to the lower bracket where they would face Liquid next. k0nfig who is being referred to as the berserker put on an impressive show to help the new team with the win.
