Both teams reached Stage 2 after surviving the opening phase, but failed to carry that momentum forward.

Astralis overwhelmed by FURIA

Astralis had no answers for the Brazilians, losing 13:3 on Inferno and 13:4 on Dust2 — the same scoreline as in Stage 1. The Danes struggled in defense and couldn’t assert control. They leave Stage 2 winless.
