HEET نے گروپ سی کو بے ترتیبی میں ڈالنے کے لیے آسٹرالیس کو جھٹکا دیا۔

ہیٹ grabbed themselves a tight 2-1 series win over Astralis to pick up their first win at ESL Pro League, besting the Danes 16-12 on Dust 2, losing Inferno 10-16, before closing the series 16-14 on Nuke.

The win keeps at least some chance of playoff qualification alive for ہیٹ, and it seemed they had finally settled into the LAN environment in Malta as their performance was much improved across the board. Astralis yet again suffered a disappointing loss, leaving them with a tough battle to qualify for playoffs, however اسجر "فارلیگ" جینسن was once again in fine form.

Aurélien "افرو" ڈریپئر identified a couple of key reasons for his team’s victory in the post-match interview: “I find them really easy to read, on T side they are playing always at the same pace.”

He went on to say, “I feel like they could beat us if they were a bit more on point with their aim.”

ہیٹ’s map selection of Dust 2 kicked off the series, with Astralis starting on the CT side. The first half largely belonged to the Danes, with فارلیگ اور کرسٹین "k0nfig" وینیک standing tall more often than not. ہیٹ needed a pistol win and conversion for two of their round wins, a big clutch from آڈرک "جیکز" جوگ allowed them a string of three in the middle of the half, and they grabbed the final round to go into the second period at a 6-9 deficit.

Force-buy wars commenced at the start of the second half, with Scouts and Deagles ringing true for either side and big plays from افریقی اور بنیامین "الزام" بریمر lighting up the server. Eventually ہیٹ came out on top, taking economic control and moving into a double-AWP setup that Astralis struggled to break; الیگزینڈر "جسم والا" پیانوارو and co. took that momentum and ran with it all the way to a 16-12 map win, their first of this Pro League campaign.

۔ Astralis pick of Inferno began with the Danes putting together an effective offense. They won the pistol and converted to put themselves in control and a 6-2 lead, as ہیٹ were unable to answer the methodical approach to taking map control coupled with late executes.

An adjustment from the Frenchmen to more aggressive setups in banana and apartments allowed them to grab five rounds on the bounce, but a late recovery from Astralis earned them a narrow 8-7 lead at the half.

ہیٹ lost the second pistol, allowing Astralis to get to 12-7 and giving themselves a mountain to climb. Key multikills from افریقی اور جسمانی did get the Frenchmen to 10 rounds, but sloppy mid-round play was repeatedly punished as Astralis confidently secured a 16-10 victory to send the series to Nuke.

A pistol win and follow-up from Astralis to start their CT side was answered by an upper rush with Tec-9s, and the teams traded rounds in a competitive start to the half. Eventually the Danes settled on their defence and stabilised their economy, with فارلیگ shining on the AWP, but not before ہیٹ had already secured a solid haul of rounds; the half ended 9-6 in Astralis’ favour.

Astralis took the pistol and used the momentum to run the score up to 12-7, putting them seemingly on the brink of running away with the map, but افریقی produced some top quality play to haul his team back into contention. Astralis suffered from economic troubles, rarely getting full-buys, but at 12-13 they did get guns up and some key frags from فارلیگ ended their opposition’s streak.

It was not enough for the Danes as افریقی continued to menace them with his AWP, helping carry his team to a 16-14 win for their first series victory in his season of ESL Pro League.
