Both the team last faced each other in the DreamHack Masters Winter grand final, Astralis dominated the match-winning by 3-1. Astralis continue their dominating run with a two map win against Finn "karrigan" Andersen's men. Astralis took advantage of their lazy performance during the BLAST Premier Fall Finals tournament and eliminated mousesports run by winning on Nuke and Vertigo by great margins 16-5 and 16-8.
Just like the last match at Nuke they brought on Lucas "Bubzkji" Andersen who took the place of Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth on the roster, Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander confirmed we would be seeing Bubzkji in action in a similar manner he has decided to play certain maps, not the entire game for now. But the European team was curtailed best by Nicolai "device" Reedtz who posted a rating of 1.67 ratings against that of 0.55 of AWPer Chris "chrisJ" de Jong. Mousesport would now be seen in action in 2021.
