What a day: Astralis join G2 in the spectator section after failing to make Rio Major

On a day of landmark upsets at the IEM Rio Major RMR A event, the once-dominant Danish dynasty in Astralis has experienced its darkest day, having failed to qualify for a Major for the first time as an organization after losing to forZe in two maps today.

Astralis’ Major streak was already on life support following map one, Mirage, after surrendering a 13-4 lead to a successful forZe comeback due to a disastrous T-side. Xyp9x and gla1ve combined for just three second-half kills and forZe put on a defensive showcase, allowing only two bomb plants over the last 13 rounds. Shalfey finished on top of the scoreboard for forZe with 26 kills against 14 deaths in a 16-14 forZe win.
