CPH Games BYOC qualifier reaches end

The BYOC qualifier for Copenhagen Games' main CS:GO tournament has come to a conclusion, with several big names failing to make the cut.

The upsets in the single-elimination bracket began as early as in the Round of 16, with top seed Chaos eliminated after losing to Danny "⁠BERRY⁠" Krüger's Ambush, who would go on to finish in the top four.

Movistar Riders were, in fact, the only team among the five top seeds to advance to the main tournament after a flawless run that included victories over Monarchs and Copenhagen Flames.

Gambit Youngsters, who are attending the event with Sergey "⁠Ax1Le⁠" Rykhtorov as a stand-in, caused one of the biggest upsets of the day as they eliminated GODSENT in the quarter-finals thanks to a dominant display by Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov, who averaged an impressive 1.48 rating in the knockout stages.

The BYOC qualifier came to an end with an exciting three-map series between Singularity and Söderberg & Partners. The North Americans, who are playing their first event with Alan "⁠Shakezullah⁠" Hardeman, took the lead after an overtime victory on Nuke, but the ex-Fragsters squad were able to pull off the reverse sweep to secure a place in the next stage.

The four qualified teams will now join the four invitees in Copenhagen Games' main tournament, which will kick off on Friday at 11:00 . These eight participants have been split into two round-robin groups, with all matches being played in a best-of-three format. The top two teams from both groups will advance to the single-elimination, best-of-three playoffs.
