The Danish players, led by Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså, still have a fighting chance. Although they were unable to win close matches against 3DMAX and Virtus.pro in the first round, they bounced back from their loss on Dust2 to survive the third round.

"valde" struggled in the opening match, but he came back strong on the Vertigo map with two important defenses in zone B, helping TSM win eight rounds in the first half. Meanwhile, Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss shined with 22 kills, helping to equalize the score in the series.

The decisive match on the Ancient map witnessed the dominance of the Danish players, as they took advantage of a series of fatal mistakes from PARIVISION.

The first round played out as a "zone B recapture simulation," with TSM winning the majority of eight rounds thanks to successful recaptures against overzealous opponents. They closed the match with five consecutive winning rounds when switching to the T side.
