Cloud9 knocked out Astralis with a 2-0 victory at the ECS Season 1 Finals (16-9 on Dust2 and 16-8 on Overpass).

Dust2 was the opening map and Cloud9 started on the CT-side. Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham got two kills to open the pistol round and the North Americans cleaned it up to make it 1-0. Astralis had an early weapon purchase in the third round and Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen's entry kill brought the round to the Danes but Cloud9 responded immediately (3-1).

n0thing was the man of the first map

Astralis returned the favor and reset Cloud9's economy as they trailed 2-3. Alec "⁠Slemmy⁠" White clutched a 1vs2 in the following round and Cloud9 made it 4-2 although they didn't have armor. Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz & co. secured their third round near the end of the half and trailed 4-11 at halftime.

Cloud9 grabbed the pistol round and the anti-ecos of the second half (14-4). Astralis got on board in the second half's first weapon round to start a five round streak but Cloud9 closed out the map 16-9.

Overpass opened up with Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip's 1vs2 pistol round clutch on the T-side and although the North Americans won the ecos and had a 5vs2 advantage in the first weapon round, dupreeh clutched a 1vs3 to win the weapon round.
