On the first map (Falcons' pick) of Dust2, it was an incredibly close affair, with overtime required to separate the sides. In overtime, Team Falcons pulled ahead and eventually won the map 16-13.

The second map, Ancient, was Astralis' pick and ended up being an absolute stomp at 13-1, with Astralis picking up 11 rounds in the first half on the Terrorist side. Then, on the third and deciding map of Nuke, Astralis pulled ahead in the first half on the CT side and finished off proceedings with a 13-9 win, thereby completing the reverse sweep against Team Falcons and sending them packing.

Despite Team Falcons getting stomped on, however, it was Danish legend and four-time Major winner (three with Astralis, mind you!) Emil "Magisk" Reif put up an absolutely monstrous performance. Watch how Magisk opened the series with four Glock kills.

Magisk then pulled off a 2v1 clutch in the next round of play in a post-plant situation on A site.

In the second pistol round on Dust2, Magisk even pulled off an ace on the B site defense on Dust2.

Yes, if it wasn't for Magisk's performance on Dust2, it would have likely been a clean 2-0 for Astralis.
