Dignitas qualify for BLAST Premier Fall Showdown

Patrik "⁠f0rest⁠" Lindberg's side dispatched of 00NATION and Copenhagen Flames in the playoffs to win the Nordic Masters qualifier.

Dignitas are through to the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown following a grand final victory over Copenhagen Flames in Nordic Masters Fall. The Swedish side topped Group A after beating ENCE and 777, and fought their way past 00NATION in the playoff semi-finals to book a ticket to the qualifying match.

Copenhagen Flames, meanwhile, also went through the group stage undefeated, beating Lyngby Vikings and fnatic — the latter of whom would go on to be eliminated in their decider match against Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe's men — before easing past HAVU in a one-sided series.

f0rest led the way for Dignitas on the final map of the series

The grand final kicked off on Overpass, and it was Dignitas who seemed to be in control at the onset as they secured a 9-6 lead by the break. Once the sides swapped over though, Copenhagen Flames were in the driver's seat, putting on a masterclass on the CT side to take their map pick 16-11.

Dignitas were quick to reply on Nuke, making up for a 1-5 start as they ran away with the first half, winning ten rounds straight for a dominant lead. Another early string of rounds from Copenhagen Flames closed the gap somewhat, but once rifles were back in the hands of the Swedes, the map was brought to a swift close.

Vertigo was a closer affair as the teams remained deadlocked at halftime; however, f0rest helped his team to run away with the lead in the second half, posting a 1.50 rating and mustering a 29-17 K-D en route to a 16-12 finish.
