As a 1h, you can counter it by strafing in the same direction of the second swing (away from the weapon), and either left swinging or overheading. If you left swing, start the swing as close as you can to his head without risking a glance.

Depends a bit on the attack option. I use inverted mouse controlls, what makes this quite risky.
I can counter this, but if they try something different, then my swing does not connect and i am fucked.
