Being blown out of the water on Nuke (16-4) didn't shake Vitality in the upper-bracket series of DreamHack Open Fall, as they recovered and took Dust2 (16-10) and Overpass (16-11) to claim the best-of-three win. This ends Astralis streak of six consecutive series won over the French team, and sends the Danes to the consolidation final where they will have to beat their countrymen Heroic or neighbours NiP to reach the BO5 grand final. On the other hand, Vitality will have their fourth shot at winning a tournament this year,
