NRG Esports took down Astralis in the final match of Group A in the ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals<\/a> to earn direct passage into the semi-finals, with the losers heading to the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

The upper-bracket Bo3 clash kicked off on Train, where it was NRG who managed to win the opening three rounds and establish a strong lead. However, Astralis did not give up and put together a five-round run to take a 5-3 advantage. NRG hit back to reduce the deficit to one round, but their Danish opponents kicked away again and took a 10-6 lead into half-time.<\/p>\n

The second half started just like the first with NRG winning three rounds and then losing the fourth, which resulted in the scoreboard showing an 8-11 lead for Astralis. The finish line was in sight for the former world no.1 CS:GO esports<\/a> team when they edged out to 13-9, but NRG found another gear and stormed home with seven consecutive wins to steal a 16-13 result.<\/p>\n

Astralis responded immediately on Nuke, jumping out to an 8-2 lead with the help of Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz. NRG worked their way back into the contest, however, and reduced the gap to four rounds by the end of the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
