The Swedes, missing in-game leader Erik "ztr" Gustafsson who was called up to play GET Dubai in place of Hampus "hampus" Poser, won the first map of the qualifying series, but were then taken down by Iulian "regali" Harjău and company in the following two. The second play-in bracket had FURIA Academy playing their hearts out from the second match of the gauntlet as they beat their Young Gods countrymen and PROSPECTS to set up the final match against Astralis Talent for a shot at the playoffs. The Danes, who came into the play-in in the last round thanks to an impressive second-place run in the group stage, weren’t able to stop the Brazilians as FURIA Academy marched on through the final series of the bracket with a solid 2-0 victory to secure their spot in the playoffs.
