GODSENT & iGame.com win in Kiev

GODSENT and iGame.com advanced to the quarter-finals at the WESG Europe & CIS Regional Finals and qualified for the WESG Global Finals.

The knockout stage has started in Kiev as the third seed in Group A GODSENT took on Group B's second seed Astralis while .Norway who finished second in Group C went up against the third-placed team in Group D iGame.com.

Astralis had an imperious start against GODSENT, winning 16-5 on Dust2. The situation was the same on Mirage as the Danes led 13-2 at halftime but Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen & company evaporated, allowing a comeback which resulted in a 16-14 GODSENT victory.

Despite a 9-3 start on the T-side of Train, which is considered the harder side to play on, GODSENT allowed Astralis to take the lead in the second half as the Danes made it 11-9 in their favor.

Having the 14-13 lead near the end of the last map didn't prevent Astralis from losing it as GODSENT got through to the quarter-finals and qualified for the WESG Global Finals.
