Astralis have moved on to the semi-finals at the SL i-League StarSeries Season 3 event after moving past CLG 2-0 (16-11 on Cache and 16-13 on Inferno).

The final series of the day kicked off on Cache, CLG's map pick, and the North American side got off to a flying start, winning the first six rounds as Astralis struggled to break through the defence.

After calling a tactical pause, Astralis' offence finally came to life, with the Danes winning their first round thanks to a fast A execution. That was the start of a great run from Astralis, who won five rounds in a row to keep the score to a minimum, but CLG kept their cool and took three of the final four rounds to secure a 9-6 lead.

Now playing on the CT side, Astralis came into the second half with fire in their bellies, winning seven rounds straight to overturn the deficit and take a solid lead. A last-gasp effort from CLG saw them win two rounds in a row, cutting the deficit to 11-13, but Astralis regained control of the game and won three straight to close out the map, 16-11.

Next up was Inferno, which began with CLG taking the pistol round on the Terrorist side with double kills from Ricardo "⁠Rickeh⁠" Mulholland and Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen. After losing both eco rounds, Astralis replied in the first gun round, courtesy of a quad kill from Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth in sandbags.

What followed was a highly-contested period in which teams took turns to string rounds together, with the half ending in a surprisingly close 8-7 scoreline in favor of CLG.

CLG further added to their lead by winning the pistol round as CT, neutralising Astralis' B execution thanks to two key kills from Ethan "⁠Ethan⁠" Arnold. The North Americans followed that up with two more rounds to bring the scoreline to an 11-7 advantage, but then Astralis hit back in the first gun round, courtesy of a quad kill from Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander.

CLG's fairytale comes to an end 

Even with Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye struggling to get kills, the Danish lineup went on a massive run, jumping out to a 14-12 lead. A triple kill from Stephen "⁠reltuC⁠" Cutler kept CLG in the game, but Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz replied with three frags of his own to put his team on match point, with the Danes locking down the map in the next round.

PotM: Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen takes the award for his tremendous consistency throughout the series. He had the most multikills (13) and boasted a 93.3 ADR across the two maps.
