Copenhagen Flames secure playoff berth in Group A

Copenhagen Flames continued their sensational run at IEM Fall by securing their playoff berth and first place in the group with yet another impressive victory, this time comfortably besting mousesports on Nuke. Whilst this gives them a fantastic chance of reaching the Major, the minimum requirement being a top 10 finish, it is not yet guaranteed; they would need to finish in the top six to put qualification beyond doubt at the moment. HooXi's team have been the surprise package of the event thus far Whilst the result will be
