We talked to Mathias "MSL" Lauridsen about Dignitas' recent success, which he says is based on his team's chemistry and the players working together instead of against eachother.

Dignitas kicked-off the series against EnVyUs discretely, losing the first half of de_cobblestone—a map they are becoming more and more known for shining in—8:7 on the CT side. It all changed from there on out, however, as they turned it around, to use MSL's adjective, with sick T-sides. Dignitas won the T pistol round, tying the match 8-8, and ran away with it, winning 8 of the next 9 rounds.

It seemed de_inferno, nV's pick, was going to be their trial by fire. It was, however, the French side who ended up getting scalded, as the Danes ran circles around them taking the first half (on CT, which they call their weaker side), 4-11. A mere 6 rounds later they pocketed the match and clinched the first semifinal spot.
