Gambit eliminate Astralis from IEM Summer; OG defeat Virtus.pro to secure playoffs

The Danish powerhouse ends the $250,000 tournament in 9-12th place after a 2-0 defeat to the world's No. 1 team.

Astralis was playing catchup throughout the series against Gambit as the two teams crossed paths in an early elimination match, with the Russian side reigning supreme (16-8 Inferno, 16-7 Overpass) and marching on in the tournament. To earn a place in the playoffs, Gambit will have to overcome one more team - Complexity.

Posting a 1.81 rating for the series, Sergey "⁠Ax1Le⁠" Rykhtorov was a thorn in Astralis' side, with a solid performance from Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif proving insuficiend to keep his team afloat. Astralis' 9-12th finish in IEM Summer follows a 6th place from Flashpoint 3, with the Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen and co. hoping for a better showing at the final event of the season, IEM Cologne.

Ax1Le was in the zone against Astralis, aceing the Danes on Inferno

In the match played on the B stream, OG brushed aside Virtus.pro (16-10 Mirage, 16-11 Overpass), building on their strong opening win over Ninjas in Pyjamas and securing at least a place in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali's squad has been relegated to the lower bracket where they will have to overcome Spirit and the winner of Ninjas in Pyjamas - HEROIC to reach playoffs.

Gambit looked unstoppable early on Inferno as Ax1Le's sharp aim propelled them to a 5-0 CT lead. Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen and Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth pulled off a 2v4 on B to get Astralis back into it, with Magisk coming online to make it a competitive half in the end. The Danes claimed the pistol and followup after the switch, only for Gambit to shut the door on the comeback with seven unanswered rounds (16-8).

The Russian team's Terrorist side was equally dangerous on Overpass. With Ax1Le topping the scoreboard again, they dominated Astralis across the board, taking 10 rounds in the first half. Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander's team got a couple of rounds to start their offense, but Gambit closed out the series in no time as Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin clutched out a 1v1 on A in the final round.

The momentum swung back and forth in the first half of Mirage as both OG and Virtus.pro went on five-round streaks, but Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen's team switched to the offense slightly behind, 8-7. That deficit was quickly nullified as Aleksib's men puz up a near-flawless T-side, winning their map pick 16-10.

On Overpass, Virtus.pro's pick, OG were barely contested in the first half as the European side got the upper hand after winning the second-round force and didn't let go. Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen picked up a couple of key multikills early on and the rest of the team chipped in, building to an 11-4 lead. Down 13-4 shortly, Jame's team didn't falter and brought the game back to 13-11 with a strong streak, but OG managed to break their bank and bring it over the line, 16-11.
