The Heroic team turned out to be stronger than OG with a score of 2:0, thanks to which they reached the grand final of group B and guaranteed participation in the playoffs of IEM Katowice 2023. In turn, the European team fell into the lower bracket of the group stage, where they will play with the winner of the match Ninjas in Pajamas - Outsiders.

One of the opening meetings of the third day of the group stage started on the Inferno map, which became the choice of OG. But if ruggah's wards left the start, then the Danes managed to seize the initiative and run ahead. However, OG managed to wake up before the break to reduce the gap to a minimum — 8:7. However, after the side switch, the intrigue finally disappeared from the server, as Heroic showed a powerful attack and quickly took the lead in the series — 16:10.

Next, the teams moved to the Mirage map, which turned out to be Heroic's choice. Here OG tried to break away from the start, winning a series of rounds. However, towards the end of the first half, the Danes managed to wake up in order to significantly reduce the backlog - 9:6. After the switchover, the game was fairly even, and at some point OG could break away and bury the chances of the Danes. However, Heroic managed to win the round with pistols, which instantly killed all the intrigue and allowed the team to get the final victory — 16:12.
