\n- Nuke (Nemesis\u2019 pick) \u2014 13:11
\nOn their own pick, Nemesis managed to impose an uncomfortable tempo on Astralis and close the map in a competitive ending. The favorite did not collapse completely, but in the key moments, the opponent looked slightly sharper and used its opportunities better.<\/li>\n - Ancient (Astralis\u2019 pick) \u2014 13:10
\nOn the second map, Astralis responded with a much more composed performance. The team played its own pick more steadily, controlled the critical stretches better, and did not allow Nemesis to consolidate a psychological advantage after the opening success.<\/li>\n - Cache (decider) \u2014 13:7
\nOn the deciding map, the series finally shifted fully under Astralis\u2019 control. Nemesis lacked both consistency in aim duels and depth over the course of the map, while the Danish roster looked calmer, more disciplined, and deservedly closed the match without unnecessary drama.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/doc_2026-07-21_23-16-17.png\")
