Astralis won the CCT South Europe Series 4: the first tournament with Altekz

Astralis and Alexander Altekz Givskov became the champions of CCT South Europe Series 4, where they defeated Eternal Fire in the final with a score of 2:1 and received the main prize of $22 000.

At first, Astralis almost lost on Vertigo after winning the first half (the result was 16:14), then they failed on their pick of Overpass 6:16 and rehabilitated on the decider Inferno 16:7.

Despite the defeat, the best player in the final was XANTARES, who made the most kills (60), including a record number of entries (14). On Vertigo, Eternal Fire had to use imoRR as a stand-in, who replaced MAJ3R.

On their way to the finals, the Danes, invited immediately to the playoffs, also beat Iron Branch, Aurora, and OG. Eternal Fire, in turn, won in B8, Into The Breach, and Endpoint.
