After delays of five days, Finnish Hawks have qualified for THOR Open after defeating CPLAY 16-2 on de_mill_b1 and SMBU 16-8 on de_train_se. Hawks easily defeated Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth's CPLAY 16-2 on de_mill_b1 in the quarter-finals, and the semi-final ended up being the final of this qualifier as Lemondogs won a qualifier on Saturday. Despite the semi-final map being de_mirage_csgo, the match was played on de_train_se which was the grand final map of each THOR Qualifier. SMBU defeated teams such as fnatic on their way to the final.
Jonas "ScurK" Finnilä's one-on-one win gave Hawks the first three rounds, but Preben "prb" Gammelsæter's mixteam answered with five uncontested rounds of their own, going up 5-3 early on as counter-terrorists. Next two rounds were traded, but at 4-6 Hawks managed to find a weak spot in SMBU's defense and won three rounds in a row. Olof "olofm" Kajbjer's three P250 kills tied the game, but Hawks won the final round for a 8-7 lead. As counter-terrorists Hawks were played a much stronger game, as they won five unanswered rounds before SMBU could get onboard. It wouldn't be enough though, as Hawks would go on to finish 8-1, 16-8 overall. THOR Open Qualifier #7Best of 1 [23:05:01] Petar Milovanovic:
