TSM, G2 win at DH London

Team SoloMid and G2 are through to DreamHack Open London's Group B Upper Bracket final after beating Copenhagen Wolves and SK Gaming, respectively.

Group B at DreamHack Open London kicked off with an all-Nordic clash between Team SoloMid, without a doubt one of the favourites to win the title, and the new Copenhagen Wolves squad.

Many expected this to be a close affair but it ended up being a one-sided show as TSM dominated proceedings pretty much from the start, despite CPH Wolves taking the pistol round. An 11-4 half-time lead highlighted the Danes' dominance, with Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel and Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad being the only players from the Norwegian team who seemed able to get a significant amount of frags.

TSM eased past CPH Wolves 

After switching to the CT side, TSM remained in the driver's seat, conceding just one round before sealing an impressive 16-5 victory.

The other match pitted the former Team Kinguin roster, now donning G2's colours, against SK Gaming, fielding Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke for the first time at an offline event. After a confusing initial period in which rounds went back and forth as the teams were being caught off-guard in anti-eco action, G2 took control of the match and got out to a significant 12-3 lead, with Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman taking plaudits with some stunning AWP actions, including a four kill in mid.

G2 survived a scare against SK

k0nfig then single-handedly put SK back in the game as he defused the bomb in a 1on1 situation thanks to a perfect smoke. The Danes followed that up with five more rounds to bring the scoreline to 9-12, but then G2 finally managed to break through their opponents' defensive setup and began to pick up rounds, sealing a 16-13 victory after many hard-fought rounds.
