mTw out of the Danish Championship

mTw have been eliminated from the 2011 Danish Championship following a 2-1 loss against Onlinerz.

In what on paper should be smooth sailing to the final for the Danish powerhouse mTw, turned out to be a fatal loss in first round and will not play any further in the Danish Championship.

The third place finishers from IEM5 World Championship managed a simple 16-5 win on first map de_inferno. On second map de_train things started to slowly drift in favor of Onlinerz. Playing the Terrorists side, Onlinerz managed to claim a total of eight rounds, before switching to the CT side. As CT Onlinerz kept pushing to a bigger lead, and mTw only managed to claim one silly round, as Onlinerz went on to win the map 16-8.

On the final map de_tuscan, mTw raised the bar a little, but it was once again Onlinerz having the lead at half-time, leading 8-7 after finishing their CT side. In the second half it started to look like mTw would seal the map and take the victory. But with several sloppy clutch rounds by mTw, Onlinerz reached match point at 15-14. In the last round mTw failed to take down Onlinzers, who secured their advancement in the Danish Championship with a 2-1 win.
