Dust 2

However, Astralis bought themselves a lifeline thanks to a pistol round victory to kick off their T-side. The Danes had the upper hand and seemingly were looking favorites to win the game, when all of sudden, Virtus.pro woke up on the CT-side and Jame started to grab important frags with his AWP.
Jame particularly shined in the penultimate round as he shut down Astralis' B split with a triple kill and then Virtus.pro didn’t miss the opportunity and closed the game 13-10 on their first map point. ElectroNic was the best player on Dust 2 and that reflected in his K/D (19/10). This, in fact, might have been Virtus.pro’s best performance sincethey signed electroNic in April.
