SK win BLAST Pro Series: Copenhagen
SK Gaming have taken down Astralis in a close grand final to win BLAST Pro Series: Copenhagen and $125,000. SK made the second seed of the round robin group stage with victories over G2, NiP, and North, while Astralis, who were using Dennis "dennis" Edman in place of Nicolai "device" Reedtz, took down all but North and secured the first seed.
The two teams faced off in a best of three series to determine who would take home the first place prize, while the third seed in the round robin, FaZe, chose one of the three remaining teams to play against in the "Pro Standoff." Astralis surprisingly took down SK on the Brazilian's map pick Mirage, but fell on their own pick Inferno. The final map Cache went down to the wire, but despite Astralis being up 9-0, Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo carried his team back to victory.

The in-game leader himself received the HLTV MVP by betway award for his ridiculous carry performance in the final.
Both squads will next be in action at the ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals on December 5th - 10th, where both teams will be favorites to make top four or perhaps win the event.
