Kosovo claims comeback win against Denmark, qualifies for Play-offs

Kosovo has secured a major victory over Denmark to qualify for the Play-offs of the European Esports Championship in Counter-Strike, an event being held in our country for the first time.

Although they were at a disadvantage after the first map, Kosovo turned the match around to win the next two maps against the Danes, who were represented by the well-known team “Sashi”.

Denmark got off to a better start, winning their map “De_Train” with a score of 13:9. The Danes were clearly better, with Lukas Bauder Balcells “Beccie” standing out with 21 eliminations, the same number as Philip Eëald “Lucky”.

However, Kosovo was far better than Denmark on the other two maps, turning the entire score around.

First, on their map “De Mirage”, Kosovo recorded a 13:10 victory. Flatron Halimi “Juanflatroo” was unstoppable with 25 eliminations, assisted by sniper Genc Kolgeci “gxx-” with 21.

Kosovo dominated the third map, “De_Ancient”, in the same way, winning 13:9 and securing a place in the European Championship play-offs.

“Juanflatroo” stood out once again, this time with 23 eliminations. Thus, Kosovo qualifies for the European Championship Play-offs, where it will face the second-place team from Group B.

Meanwhile, Denmark will face the winner of the Ireland–Czech Republic match, which will determine which team advances as the second team after Kosovo.

Kosovo’s next match is on Saturday, starting at 10:00. /rtk
