Nicolai "device" Reedtz and Christian "Buzz" Andersen were standout performers, with Buzz leading the server with an impressive 1.59 rating, including a magnificent 1vs3 clutch.

Astralis is now set to face off against G2 in the semi-finals, with the high-octane battle scheduled for Saturday at 20:00.
On the other side of the server, Heroic faced on-stage difficulties once again. Casper "cadiaN" Møller acknowledged his team's shortcomings but also acknowledged Astralis' deserved victory, highlighting the intensity of the matchup.
The analysts on the desk echoed similar sentiments, with Yanko "YNk" Paunović and Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović suggesting that Heroic may need roster changes before the release of CS2 if they intend to compete for major titles.
The quarter-final commenced with a closely contested first half on Ancient, with Astralis narrowly leading into the second half. However, Heroic struggled on their favored CT side, failing to secure a single round as Astralis dominated with a 16-7 victory.
Inferno witnessed another tight first half, ending 8-7 in favor of Astralis. Yet again, Astralis displayed their prowess in the second half, losing only three rounds to book their semi-final spot in an impressive debut with their revamped roster.
