One of the opening meetings of the third day of the group stage started on the Inferno map, which became the choice of OG. But if ruggah's wards left the start, then the Danes managed to seize the initiative and run ahead. However, OG managed to wake up before the break to reduce the gap to a minimum — 8:7. However, after the side switch, the intrigue finally disappeared from the server, as Heroic showed a powerful attack and quickly took the lead in the series — 16:10.

However, towards the end of the first half, the Danes managed to wake up in order to significantly reduce the backlog - 9:6. After the switchover, the game was fairly even, and at some point OG could break away and bury the chances of the Danes. However, Heroic managed to win the round with pistols, which instantly killed all the intrigue and allowed the team to get the final victory — 16:12.
