Singularity have made it to DreamHack Open Summer
The Danish clash began with Singularity grabbing a five-round streak on their opponents' map pick, Train, and easily reaching an 11-4 lead by half-time.
Despite the big gap, Team123 managed to win 10 in a row and eventually reached map point as Counter-Terrorists. However, Singularity levelled the score and eventually secured the first map, 25-21, after prevailing in a triple overtime.
On Nuke, Singularity's map pick, Allan "AnJ" Jensen's squad seemed to be paving the way for their qualification with a dominant 11-4 lead on the CT side, but Team123 refused to back off and took the series to a third map with a 16-13 victory.
Despite getting out to a 6-2 lead on the decider map, Inferno, Singularity finished the first half with a narrow one-round advantage as Terrorists. Still, AnJ and his team easily assured their presence at DreamHack Summer after closing the last map out 16-8 following a near flawless CT-side.
