Round 1 of the Elimination Stage at the PGL Major Copenhagen ended with victories for G2 and Team Spirit.

Nikola “NiKo” Kovač and the rest of the G2 gang didn’t take long to smash FURIA on Inferno. Fans of the team will be happy to see Nemanja "huNter-" Kovač back in excellent shape after a couple of lackluster months. The Bosnian kept up with the two stars of G2, Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov, and Nikola “NiKo” Kovač at the top of the scoreboard. G2 won 13-3 on Inferno.

Team Spirit and Cloud9 played the last match of the round on Ancient. Here Dmitriy "sh1ro" Sokolov faced his old teammates, who had gone flawlessly through the Opening Stage of the Major in Copenhagen. But against Spirit, Cloud9 could not continue their excellent showing from the first stage. The firepower from Spirit was simply on another level with Danil "donk" Kryshkovets, and Myroslav 'zont1x' Plakhotia showing very promising signs in their Major debut. Spirit won 13-7 and move on into the 1-0 bracket.

Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets, Artem "⁠ArtFr0st⁠" Kharitonov, and Myroslav "⁠zont1x⁠" Plakhotia will be the new faces on the main roster with Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets standing out as one of the most exciting young prospects in CS:GO.
