Titan qualify for ESL One Cologne

Titan have picked up the last European spot at ESL One Cologne after easing past LGB eSports 16-2 on de_dust2.

Fresh off a nail-bitting contest against Team eBettle in the Upper Bracket final, Titan came into this match determined to make amends as anything short of securing qualification for the Cologne major would be considered a failure for Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans's men.

However, it was LGB - who had defeated HellRaisers in the previous round, much to everyone's surprise - who came out the brighter in this match as they picked up the pistol round as CT. But the Norwegians were completely taken aback by the strong response produced by Titan, who conceded just one more round before the end of the half as they found themselves up 13-2.

The Frenchmen picked up where they had left off and further enlarged their lead as CT by taking the pistol round, with Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon picking up two stunning kills. After losing the first eco round, LGB came close to claiming their third round of the game, but Ex6TenZ won a 1vs3 clutch in the A site to put the final nail into the Norwegians' coffin.
