Heroic fend off dig to win Power

Heroic defeated dignitas 2-1 in the grand final of the Power-LAN to win the Danish tournament (19-16 on Cobblestone, 11-16 on Dust2, and 16-10 on Mirage).

Dignitas, who used Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup instead of Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel in this tournament, started on the T-side on Cobblestone and secured the pistol round with Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke's 1vs1 clutch. Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså and Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander stepped up in the second round to win a 2vs5 and HEROIC started a six round winning streak. HEROIC was not fazed after losing a round, securing six rounds in a row again. The last round of the half went to Dignitas but HEROIC led 12-3 at halftime.

gla1ve's 1vs3 win in the second half pistol round basically guaranteed a HEROIC victory but Dignitas mounted an incredible comeback to take twelve rounds in a row. HEROIC answered with two of their own to take the match to overtime and won the map 19-16 thanks to their performance in overtime.

valde & gla1ve make their marks 

HEROIC kicked off Dust2 on the T-side and merely grabbed five rounds in the first half. valde & company's effort in the second half was not enough as Dignitas closed out the map with a 16-11 score.

dignitas took charge on the T-side on Mirage with René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg's superior AWP performance but their opponent came alive to win the half 8-7. valde's triple kill in the pistol round gave the round to HEROIC who made it 12-8 after resetting their opponents' economy. valde & company won the map 16-10, and the series 2-1 to secure the Power-LAN tropy.
