From the last in the group to the top four: with three consecutive wins in the knockout round of the WePlay Academy League, Astralis Talent has won a place at the offline finals in February.

Among other things, the Danes prevailed against Young Ninjas and Fnatic Rising, against whom they had lost in the group stage. "The bootcamp was crucial for us. Being together and seeing what mistakes we made in the group stage helped us a lot," team captain Victor "vigg0" Bisgaard said in an interview after the game.

For Astralis Talent, it is the first final participation in the tournament series after two seventh places in the first and second seasons. "Before Astralis, I never had the role of announcer. That was very hard for me in seasons one and two," Vigg0 said.

The second team of the Russian organization Spirit will also qualify for the LAN finals. As a group runner-up, the Russians were only able to win 2-0 against VP.Prodigy.

Due to the first places in the standings in their groups, the German teams BIG Academy and Mouz NXT had already bought the ticket for the offline final tournament of the junior league.
