The lower bracket semi-finals between Team Solomid and Titan kicked off on de_inferno, where the French team managed to secure the preliminary pistol round as one more following round, making the score 2-0. However, TSM were quick to retaliate, and after they won an eco round, they began to mount a swift comeback winning 4 rounds in a row before Titan finally got 2. Things were kept close as rounds were exchanged back and fourth, however, in the end TSM just barely managed to win the half in a very underwhelming 8-7 scoreline on their CT side.

On the second half, Titan managed to secure another pistol round victory, racking up some more rounds in their favour as momentum shifted to their side. However, at 12-8, TSM themself began to turn it around bringing it to 13-12 in their favour. A series of round exchanges brought it back to 14-14, however, in the end TSM reigened supreme as they won the first map in a very close 16-14 fashion. 

Map 2 was de_cache, with TSM starting off on the more favoured CT side of the map. Here, the Danish squad picked up the first pistol round, only to be shut down on the 2nd round by a force buy from Titan. TSM proceeded to force buy themself on the 3rd round, and no team really began to build up a real strong economy until the 10th round at 6-4 in favour of Titan where the Frenchman's economic advantage allowed them to finish their less favoured T half in a dominant 9-6 scoreline. The second half saw TSM mount another comeback, quickly going back into the lead as they went to 12-10 in favour of the Danes. A series of more back and forth round exchanges then occurred, but at the end, TSM were forced to a 5 man tec-9 buy with no avail. Titan picked up the second map 16-14. 

The third map was de_dust2, where TSM swiftly jumped to the lead, winning a staggering 11 rounds on their T side of the map. Unlike their other matches, this time TSM did not choke when they were in the lead, and were able to completely crush Titan on this map, eventually winning 16-5. TSM will now face the loser of NiP vs EnVyUs, while Titan have been eliminated from the tournament.
