The series was held on Ancient and Mirage, where Cloud9 only got single-digit round totals on both maps.<\/p>\n<p>Ancient kicked off with Astralis in the lead; the team started with a 1vs3 clutch and held on to their advantage for the entire offensive half. By map half, Astralis had secured 12-round wins, which proved too much for Cloud9 to reel in. The Danish lineup won Ancient with a 16-8 scoreboard.<\/p>\n<p>While Mirage had the same outcome, Cloud9 started the map in the lead, racking up six rounds before the second half. They blew their chances of a decider on the third map after the map half, and Astralis once again won 16-8 and closed the series 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>Nicolai &#8220;\u2060device\u2060&#8221; Reedtz produced the highest rating on the map at 1.57 with a 94.1 ADR. Benjamin &#8220;blameF&#8221; Bremer was not far behind with 1.56 and a 91.0 ADR.<\/p>\n<p>Cloud9 players did not record a single positive rating, with Dmitry &#8220;sh1ro&#8221; Sokolov producing the highest rating of 0.99.<\/p>\n<p>Astralis is set to face off against ENCE in the group final to secure a direct passage to the IEM Dallas semi-final stage. The loser of the match will begin their run in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n<p>With the loss, Cloud9 has dropped to the lower bracket and will play against Complexity on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday also saw 9Z&#8217;s elimination from the tournament following their 2-0 loss to OG. The South American team leaves the CS:GO tournament in 9th\u201312th place, while OG lives to fight another day.<\/p>\n<p>The series started on Ancient, which OG won 19-17 via the efforts of substitute player Iulian &#8220;regali&#8221; Harj\u0103u. The teams moved to Mirage, which OG also won, but this time due to the individual performance of Shahar &#8220;flameZ&#8221; Shushan.<\/p>\n<p>FlameZ recorded 31 kills and a 1.78 rating on Mirage, which helped his team win the map 16-12 and retain their place in the tournament. The player produced the highest rating for both maps at 1.33, with Regali in second place at 1.32.<\/p>\n<p>OG&#8217;s next match will be against MOUZ for a place in the IEM Dallas quarterfinals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Astralis advanced to the Intel Extreme Masters Dallas Playoffs on Tuesday after beating Cloud9 in a two-map series.
