The BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2024 has concluded, with FaZe Clan and Team Falcons securing the final two spots for the upcoming Fall Final in Copenhagen, scheduled from September 25�C29.

Both teams overcame significant challenges to earn their places, defeating OG and Virtus.pro, respectively.

FaZe Clan, despite recent struggles and early exits in other tournaments, managed to regain form in the Showdown.

After a shaky start that saw them drop a map to paiN Gaming, FaZe bounced back with a convincing series win over the Brazilians and carried that momentum into a decisive victory against OG.

FaZe set the pace early in their match against OG, dominating with a 9-3 half on Dust2 and ultimately winning the map 13-8.

On Ancient, FaZe maintained their edge, securing another 13-8 win to advance to the Fall Final.

The resurgence of key players like Robin “ropz” Kool and Helvijs “broky” Saukants was crucial to FaZe’s success.

Both players, who had been struggling in recent events, delivered strong performances, helping their team secure a spot in one of the biggest Counter-Strike 2 events of 2024.

While questions remain about FaZe’s consistency, their qualification for the Fall Final is a significant step forward.

Team Falcons also faced a challenging path to the BLAST Premier Fall Final but they rose to the occasion.

After an opening win against M80, Falcons had to overcome two of the highest-ranked teams in the tournament, Complexity and Virtus.pro.

Led by Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer and bolstered by the experience of players like Emil “Magisk” Reif, Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen, and the standout performer Alvaro “SunPayus” Garcia, Falcons secured their place in the Fall Final.

Falcons�� match against Virtus.pro was particularly one-sided.

On their pick of Vertigo, Falcons dominated the first half, leading 10-2 before eventually closing out the map 13-10, thanks in part to a clutch 1v4 from SunPayus.

The second map, Mirage, saw Falcons once again take control with a 9-3 half, eventually winning 13-6 to complete their sweep.

This tournament marked a much-needed return to form for Falcons, who had struggled in recent months.

SunPayus, who had openly discussed his struggles throughout 2024, showed significant improvement, while Snappi found his fragging ability just in time for the showdown.

With three Danish players on the roster, Falcons will be eager to perform well on home soil in Copenhagen.

As both FaZe Clan and Team Falcons head to the Fall Final, they join a lineup of the world��s best teams, ready to compete for glory in one of the most anticipated events of the year.

The post Astralis & NaVi claim their BLAST Premier Fall Final spots appeared first on Esport Bet.

]]>
Astralis secured their spot at the BLAST Premier Fall Final in Copenhagen by defeating Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) in a two-map series.

The Counter-Strike matches, held on Mirage and Inferno, ended with scores of 13-6 and 13-5, respectively, in favour of Astralis.

Nicolai “?device?” Reedtz expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, acknowledging NiP’s potential despite their lacklustre showing.

“We played really well, and NIP are probably a better team than they showed today,” device commented post-match.

“It’s been a decent tournament. We had some really good moments against Vitality, even though we lost. We’re happy to get the season started.”

Artem “?r1nkle?” Moroz had a notably tough series, averaging a 0.62 rating and managing only four AWP kills.

Despite the setback, NIP��s coach, Richard “?Xizt?” Landstr?m, remained optimistic.

“We can’t get too greedy with how good we want to be results-wise. We’re facing really good teams and have some young players, so we just need a bit of time and experience,” he said.

Astralis’ journey to the play-in match came after a second-place finish in their group, where they were defeated by Team Vitality.

NiP, on the other hand, fell to G2 Esports in their group.

The series commenced on Mirage, with Jakob “?jabbi?” Nygaard (1.78 rating) and Martin “?stavn?” Lund (1.57 rating) leading Astralis to victory.

Inferno saw NiP struggle further, posting only five rounds despite winning both pistol rounds, ultimately ending their campaign in disappointment.

In the final series of BLAST Premier Fall Groups, Natus Vincere (NaVi) claimed the sixth Fall Final spot by defeating Complexity 2-0 (13-11, 13-6).

NAVI��s run through the groups was challenging, marked by two losses to Team Liquid.

However, they capitalised on their second qualification attempt against Complexity.

The match on Anubis was closely contested, with Complexity leading 6-1 on the counter-terrorist side before NaVi turned the tide.

Key performances from Justinas “?jL?” Lekavicius and crucial entries by Aleksi “?Aleksib?” Virolainen helped secure the map.

On Nuke, NaVi dominated from the start, concluding with a 9-3 offensive half and a quick series close.

Jonathan ‘EliGE’ Jablonowski played a lone hand for Complexity throughout the series, finishing as their only player to record a positive kill/death difference (+5) and the third-highest rated player on the server (1.15).

Post-match, jL reflected on NAVI’s performance, emphasising the importance of their group stage struggles.

“It’s good that we got exposed here so that we can focus on Cologne,” jL stated.

“I think it was B1ad3’s master plan all along. Play five games so we get the most practice and be ready for Cologne.

“Jokes aside, our mistakes got exposed and we can fix them.”

Complexity and Ninjas in Pyjamas will drop into the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown, joining the 14 other squads who will compete for the final two spots at the Fall Final.

Team Spirit became the first team to secure a spot at the Counter-Strike 2 BLAST Premier Fall Final after a hard-fought 2-1 (16-19, 13-6, 13-10) victory over Complexity in the Group A final.

Despite entering as heavy favourites with top esports betting sites, Spirit faced a challenging match.

Complexity managed to secure a double-overtime win on Dust2, overcoming a series of highlight plays from Danil “donk” Kryshkovets and Dmitry “sh1ro” Sokolov.

However, Spirit rebounded on Anubis, maintaining their eight-map winning streak with a decisive 13-6 victory.

The final map, Nuke, saw Complexity initially leading, but Spirit’s Leonid “chopper” Vishnyakov and sh1ro’s clutch plays turned the tide, securing a seven-round streak and the series win.

G2 Esports clinched a spot at the BLAST Premier Fall Final with a dominant 2-0 (13-7, 13-8) victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas.

On Ancient, G2’s Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov led the charge with 16 kills in the first half, and while Max “maxster” Jansson shone on the terrorist side, G2 secured the map off the back of a strong first half performance.

Inferno saw G2 quickly gaining a 6-2 lead before Ninjas in Pyjamas briefly rallied.

However, G2’s solid performance on both sides of the map led to a comfortable victory.

Despite the win, G2’s in-game leader, Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski, admitted the team made some mistakes but felt no significant pressure during the match.

Vitality emerged victorious in Group B, defeating Astralis 2-1 (10-13, 13-10, 13-7) to secure their place at the Fall Final.

Astralis started strong on Vertigo, winning 13-10 after a competitive first half.

However, Vitality bounced back on Mirage, overcoming a 0-7 deficit to win 13-10.

The decider, Nuke, was a tight contest in the first half, with Astralis holding a 7-5 lead.

Vitality’s impeccable defense in the second half, led by Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, secured an eight-round streak, culminating in a 13-7 victory and a ticket to Copenhagen.

Team Liquid booked their spot in the Fall Final after triumphing over Natus Vincere in their Group D rematch, winning 2-1 (9-13, 16-14, 13-10) after a fiercely contested series.

NaVi dominated the early stages of Nuke, leading 10-2, but Liquid’s strong defence made it a closer 13-9 finish.

On Anubis, Liquid’s impressive terrorist-side play led to a 16-14 overtime victory.

The decider, Inferno, featured dramatic swings, with NaVi initially gaining control with a nine-round streak.

Liquid, however, turned the game around on the counter-terrorist side, driven by Roland “ultimate” Tomkowiak’s performance, and secured the map 13-10, earning their spot in the Fall Final.

The losers from each of the four finals will clash in two do-or-die series’, with the winners earning automatic qualification into the Fall Final and the losers relegated to the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown.

Vitality secured victory in the BLAST Premier Fall Final by defeating FaZe with a convincing 2-0 in the tournament decider at the Royal Arena.

This marked a remarkable debut for William “mezii” Merriman, who celebrated his first Counter-Strike trophy.

Despite FaZe aiming to extend their 18-match winning streak and clinch their fourth consecutive trophy, they delivered an uninspired performance, particularly on Vertigo, where Vitality dominated from the start.

Nuke saw a closer contest, but FaZe’s critical mistake at 11-11 proved costly.

Dan “apEX” Madesclaire expressed his pride in the team’s performance, emphasizing the intense collective effort in practice and individual skills.

The French tactician also highlighted Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut’s exceptional performance, earning him his 17th MVP award with a tournament-high 1.35 rating.

The series began with a surprise Vertigo pick from Vitality, a map they hadn’t played since IEM Cologne 2023.

Despite the lack of recent experience, Vitality showcased a strong understanding of the map, securing a 9-3 halftime lead.

FaZe struggled to recover, managing only one round on the map as Vitality dominated.

The momentum carried into Nuke, with Vitality taking a 3-0 lead after a clutch from mezii in the pistol round.

FaZe rallied with seven consecutive round wins, led by H?vard “rain” Nygaard, but Vitality closed the half at 7-5.

The second half featured key clutches from Vitality, including one from Lotan “Spinx” Giladi, securing an 11-9 lead.

Despite FaZe’s attempts at a comeback, Vitality reached series point with a decisive round, ultimately winning the match.

FaZe Clan’s flawless CS2 run came to an end at the hands of a resurgent Vitality roster.

Following a lackluster end to the Global Offensive era, FaZe had dominated CS2’s initial competitions, claiming titles at IEM Sydney, the Thunderpick World Championship, and the CS Asia Championship.

Twistzz’s reported move to Team Liquid raises questions about FaZe’s roster, especially with the impending merger with GameSquare.

Vitality, bolstered by the addition of Mezii, seems to be in top form as they head into the BLAST World Final and the first Major in CS2 history in March 2023.

Both Vitality and FaZe, if their core roster survives changes, are expected to be favourites in upcoming events, providing exciting matchups in late-2023 BLAST events and potentially meeting again in a grand final.

The second day of the BLAST Premier Fall Final featured the last four series of the group stage, which would give us the six Counter-Strike teams that would advance to the playoffs and the first two teams to be eliminated.

Early on Thursday, Ninjas in Pyjamas clashed with Natus Vincere in the first elimination game of the Fall Final in Group A, and it would be the latter that would claim a resounding 2-0 victory.

The series began on Overpass, which was the pick of NiP; however, NaVi looked very much at home on their opponent’s pick, as they jumped out to a quick 10-2 lead at halftime after a dominant CT side.

Led by Kristian ��k0nfig�� Wienecke, NiP would return serve with its own dominant CT side, claiming nine of the next 11 rounds to bring the scoreline back to 11-12 before NaVi wrapped up the series with a 13th round win.

Unfortunately for NiP fans and neutral Counter-Strike viewers, the second map wasn��t even close, as NaVi closed out the series with a 13-6 win on Mirage to close out the series and send the Ninjas packing.

With Oleksandr ��s1mple�� Kostyliev taking a break from competitive play, Valeriy ��b1t�� Vakhovskiy and Justinas ��jL�� Lekavicius had to stand up and carry the team, and they did, recording an equal server-high rating of 1.34.

The second of the elimination matches featured Danish rivals Astralis and Heroic, with both teams seeking a playoff berth to play in front of a sold-out Royal Arena in Copenhagen.

Heroic, who are playing this event with three stand-ins, went into the matchup as clear underdogs; however, they went on to claim map one (Vertigo) 13-8.

Heroic��s new signing, ex-Astralis player Peter ��dupreeh�� Rasmussen, topped the server in multiple categories, finishing with the highest rating (1.48), most kills (20) and best kill/death difference (+6).

The second map of the series would be Astralis�� pick of Overpass, which would turn out to be much closer than Vertigo, with the teams trading 8-4 halves to take the game into overtime.

However, after just four rounds, Heroic wrapped up the map with a 16-13 victory to claim the all-Denmark series 2-0 and advance to the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, FaZe Clan and Cloud9 met in the upper-bracket final of Group A, where FaZe completed another comeback victory to book their place in the semi-finals, while Cloud9 advanced to the quarter-finals with the loss.

The final match of the day featured Team Vitality and Complexity, and even though the North American organisation pushed the world number five to three maps, Mathieu ��ZywOo�� Herbaut and his team claimed the series 2-1.

Friday’s quarter-final matches

  • Cloud9 (-250) vs Heroic (+175) @ 3:30pm CET
  • Natus Vincere (-120.48) vs Complexity (-120.48) @ 6:30pm CET

    FaZe Clan enter BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 as the most in-form team on Counter-Strike 2. They’ve won three consecutive tournaments — Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023, Thunderpick World Championship 2023, and CS Asia Championships 2023 — and are on a 15-game winning streak.

    In contrast, Ninjas in Pyjamas haven’t looked great on CS2, doing no better than a top-six finish at the CS Asia Championships. Moreover, NiP recently made roster changes and have not yet formed the needed synergy to compete at the top level.

    NiP nearly defeated FaZe Clan (25-28) at the CS Asia Championships at the start of the month, suggesting they might do fine on Wednesday. But at the offered Counter-Strike betting odds, FaZe Clan to sweep makes the most sense.

    Cloud9 signed Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhaylov on November 2 and have since looked much improved; however, we’ve only seen them play two games with the new roster — against FaZe Clan (1-2) and BIG (2-0). Cloud9 still have a lot more to prove following a shaky run through the last couple of months, but things are looking up for the Russian squad.

    At the end of October, Natus Vincere officially benched Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyljev and signed ex-Sprout AWP star Ihor “w0nderful” Zhdanov. But while we know w0nderful is an outstanding player, we’ve yet to see the new-look roster in action.

    There are still a few question marks above Cloud9 and how they’ll do at the top level, but it’s easier to trust the Russian squad than NaVi, who’ve lost their star player and have no official games on the record in over a month.

    Like many other Counter-Strike esports teams, Team Vitality have made some roster changes in recent times. While new signing William “mezii” Merriman is a solid addition, we don’t know the former Fnatic player can help this team find more traction.

    In October, Team Vitality crashed out of More esports betting tips“>Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023 in 13th-16th place; however, they were eliminated by the eventual champions, FaZe Clan, so they deserve some slack for it. Still, the Bees have not played an official CS2 match since then.

    Despite losing two key players, Jakob “jabbi” Nygaard and Martin “stavn” Lund, Heroic have managed to form a competitive lineup for BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 by acquiring Rasmus “Zyphon” Nordfoss on loan and convincing Casper “cadiaN” M?ller to play one last tournament with the team. And yet, they’re priced as +175 underdogs.

    This doesn’t make much sense, considering Heroic’s current roster isn’t much weaker than their previous lineup. We must also consider that Vitality, as strong as they may seem, have not shown much on CS2.

    Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/BLASTPremier)

    Complexity were one of the weakest tier-one teams in the latter stages of the CS:GO era, but since the transition to CS2, they’ve found momentum and made the finals of Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023. Unfortunately, Complexity didn’t manage to keep their wheels spinning and, a week later, exited Thunderpick World Championship 2023 in 9th-12th place.

    Astralis have reportedly signed Jakob “jabbi” Nygaard and Martin “stavn” Lund, but due to the BLAST Premier rulebook, those two will not be allowed to join the team for this tournament. That might explain why Astralis are priced as underdogs.

    Even though it’s fair to see Complexity priced as favourites, betting on over 2.5 maps makes more sense. This looks like a 50-50 match, and considering the teams don’t share map pools, there’s a good chance we will see a three-part series.

    The post Team Vitality announce signing of “mezii” to its CS2 roster appeared first on Esport Bet.

    ]]>
    In an exciting roster move, Team Vitality has officially welcomed British player William “mezii” Merriman to their ranks, confirming his signing from fnatic.

    The 25-year-old rifler is set to make his debut later this month, joining the lineup for the BLAST Premier Fall Final.

    This acquisition marks the second change to Vitality’s team since the release of Counter-Strike 2, following the return of R��my “XTQZZZ” Quoniam as head coach last month.

    Mezii steps into the shoes of Emil “Magisk” Reif, who is reportedly close to joining Falcons.

    The move sees mezii taking on the role previously held by Magisk, a player integral to Vitality’s success, including their victory in the BLAST Paris Major and an 18-week stint as the world’s No.1 team.

    From a statistical perspective, mezii is expected to seamlessly replace Magisk, and his track record supports this transition.

    Despite sometimes flying under the radar on the playing field, mezii is recognized as an experienced player with the capacity to adapt to any situation.

    Mezii’s professional journey dates back to 2017, gaining significant attention during his tenure with Cloud9’s “Colossus” roster in September 2020.

    His prowess as the standout player on the team has since led him to Endpoint in 2021 and, more recently, fnatic in August 2021.

    Mezii showcased his leadership skills as the in-game leader and later transitioned into a star rifler role.

    Now, on Team Vitality, mezii faces the challenge of filling Magisk’s shoes, particularly in the anchor roles on the CT side.

    Magisk’s contributions were pivotal in securing notable victories, including the BLAST Paris Major.

    Mezii’s task will be to prove his versatility once again and contribute to Vitality’s continued success in the competitive CS2 scene.

    The team is gearing up for the BLAST Premier Fall Final in Copenhagen from November 22�C26, with an eye on the BLAST Premier World Final scheduled for December 13�C17 in Abu Dhabi.

    In a thrilling clash between the top two North American Counter-Strike teams, Complexity secured their spot at the BLAST Premier Fall Final in the Royal Arena, sweeping Team Liquid 2-0 (Anubis 16-4, Inferno 16-2).

    This victory was especially significant as Complexity had previously lost their last five matches against Liquid.

    Jonathan “?EliGE?” Jablonowski, reflecting on the win, pointed out that confidence was the key factor that had been holding Complexity back in their previous encounters.

    This resounding victory helped boost their morale and solidify their winning mindset.

    Liquid, on the other hand, had to fight tooth and nail to reach this stage, requiring three maps to overcome Forsaken and Party Astronauts.

    In the final against Complexity, Liquid’s “experimental” roster, featuring Damian “?daps?” Steele as a secondary caller, struggled.

    Daps, who was transitioning to the role of the team’s in-game leader, had a challenging return to official matches, ending the event with a 0.81 rating in his first competitive appearance since April 2022.

    Even though Mareks “YEKINDAR” Ga?inskis was heavily involved in Liquid’s opening duels on map one, he struggled, succeeding in only 45% of them, leading to Liquid’s 16-4 loss on Anubis.

    Complexity’s tactical prowess continued on Inferno, where they outsmarted Liquid, who had to rely on individual performances for round wins.

    Liquid managed only two rounds on their T side, trailing 13-2 at halftime.

    Complexity’s Johnny “?JT?” Theodosiou played a crucial role in shutting down YEKINDAR, neutralizing Liquid’s primary threat.

    In the end, Complexity convincingly closed out Inferno with a 16-2 score.

    This win marked a morale-boosting comeback for Complexity, as they had previously recovered from a 12-6 deficit against FURIA in the semi-finals.

    With their spot secured in the Fall Final and a reputation as the best team in the Americas, Complexity heads into CS2 with renewed confidence.

    In the European Fall Showdown final, Cloud9 secured their place at the Fall Final with a 2-0 victory over BIG, recording wins on both Ancient (16-13) and Anubis (16-12).

    Cloud9 had been struggling to find success in recent tournaments, prompting a change in leadership with Abay “HObbit” Khassenov taking on the role of in-game leader.

    This adjustment seemed to be paying off as they overcame BIG, who had been on an upward trajectory with wins against strong opponents.

    On the first map, BIG started strongly on the T side, but Cloud9 made a comeback from 3-7 down and clinched the map 16-13.

    On Cloud9’s pick, Anubis, they managed to secure a narrow 8-7 win despite initially struggling to hold the A bomb site.

    BIG had a strong start on the CT side, but Cloud9’s aggressive approach and impressive individual performances allowed them to secure a 16-12 victory and close out the series.

    Both Complexity and Cloud9 will take their place in the Fall Final in Copenhagen, with the US$425,000 event kicking off on November 22.

    The 2021 BLAST Premier Fall Final has won bronze in the Most Successful Sports Event Broadcast genre of the 2022 Sports Business Awards.

    The Sports Business Awards recognise and reward achievement by the teams behind the scenes that facilitate sporting excellence around the world.

    The Fall Final was one of the first esports events to welcome back crowds and have an in-person tournament in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, after two years of remote and online-only esports events.

    Some 25,000 fans packed into the Royal Arena in Copenhagen across three days of top-tier Counter-Strike action which was broadcast all over the globe.

    The highlights of the 2021 BLAST Premier Fall Final included over 25 million total views, 861,383 concurrent peak viewership, and 50 hours of live broadcast in 19 languages to over 150 territories.

    The BLAST Premier Fall Final finished third, with the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games (BBC Sport) and FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021 (beIN MEDIA GROUP) filling the top two places.

    With BLAST winning the bronze medal, it appears esports are starting to gain wider recognition regarding their high level of viewership and global representation across the world.

    BLAST will host its first ever CS:GO Major tournament next May — the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.
