NAVI eliminates G2 to book a spot in the semi-finals of the Blast World Finals

With both teams coming off the back of two heartfelt losses, G2 and NAVI look to bounce back with a spot in the semi-finals on the line. G2 went through a miserable loss after cutting it close against FaZe while NAVI had a more reasonable loss, especially during this transition era with several new faces who are not used to tier 1 CS.

Map Veto

  • Natus Vincere removed Vertigo
  • G2 removed Mirage
  • Natus Vincere picked Anubis
  • G2 picked Inferno
  • Natus Vincere removed Ancient
  • G2 removed Overpass
  • Nuke was left over

Map 1: Anubis (Pick: NAVI, Win: G2, Final Score: 16-13)

NAVI started the game in stellar fashion, dominating G2 across the first five rounds before m0nesy came up with an insane 1v5 clutch to put G2 on the board. G2 picked up some momentum off the back of m0nesy’s clutch that saw them get up to 6 rounds before the half came to an end. Following their initial streak of rounds, NAVI managed to pick up one more before switching to the offense.

G2 continued on the trend of losing out rounds early on before they got back to their winning ways, except they were cutting it too close. NAVI had iM and w0nderful firing on all cylinders that helped them reach map point before G2, pushing them into a round where NAVI lost to a force buy that enabled G2 to push the game to OT. Once in OT, G2 started on the CT side and let only a single round slip winning the remains ones to ensure they win NAVI’s map pick. w0nderful posted a rating of 1.33 with 26 frags to his name couldn’t push it over the line for his team against a well-drilled G2 side.

Map 2: Inferno (Pick: G2, Win NAVI:, Final Score: 13-11)

G2 kicked off with a strong T side, winning 5 rounds right off the bat before NAVI picked up their first. G2 went back on their habit of leaving the bomb alone which let Aleksib pull off a ninja defuse on the 7th round shifting the momentum towards NAVI who were able to pick up 5 rounds as opposed to 7 of G2 thereby putting up a very respectable scoreline before moving onto the second half.

G2 dropped the ball entirely in the second half as they failed to put together consecutive rounds on more than one occasion which led to NAVI making a comeback. b1t stood out as the best player for NAVI playing in the apartments and putting up incredible numbers. NAVI reached the map point first, just like the first map but G2 this time around came close to going to OT but got shut down instead. NAVI took us to a 3rd map after winning Inferno with a 13-11 scoreline.

Map 3: Nuke(Pick: Decider, Win: NAVI, Final Score: 13-6)

A topsy-turvy start to the final map of the series saw both teams trading force buy rounds until NAVI were able to put together a 5 in a row starting the 5th round. NiKo, who was their hero on this map the last time round lost most of his battle outside to iM giving G2 a lot less to work with thus narrowing down their offense towards the A site and ramp. NAVI edged out the first half with a 7-5 score.

Onto the second half, NAVI had G2’s number on every step of the way, despite their best efforts, Hooxi and co were not able to keep NAVI out for long as they won all the rounds on their offense except one and took no time to close out the match. A victory inspired by iM with a rating of 2.01 and 24 frags, saw NAVI book a place in the semi-finals as G2 bowed out of the tournament.

MOUZ Dominates Cloud9 2-0, Securing Semi-Final Spot BLAST Premier World Finals 2023

0

The quarterfinal clash between MOUZ and Cloud9 in the ongoing BLAST Premier World Final 2023 has concluded, with the former emerging victorious and advancing to the semifinals while the latter is eliminated from the event.

Did you miss the action live? We have you covered. Here’s everything that went down during the series.

Map Veto

  • MOUZ removed Anubis
  • Cloud9 removed Vertigo
  • MOUZ picked Mirage
  • Cloud9 picked Ancient
  • MOUZ removed Inferno
  • Cloud9 removed Nuke
  • Overpass was left over

Game 1: Mirage (Pick: MOUZ, Win: MOUZ, Final Score: 13-1)

The first half of Mirage seemed pretty one-sided as MOUZ left no room for mistakes for their enemies to capitalize on. In fact, despite a couple of extremely close rounds, Cloud9 could only manage to win a single round on the T-side before proceeding to the second half of the game.

The second pistol round of the game was also won by MOUZ, which enabled them to take the first map of the series with a score of 13-1 in their favor.

Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek reigned at the top of the scoreboard with 17 kills and only 6 deaths.

Game 2: Ancient (Pick: Cloud9, Win: , Final Score: )

Cloud9 regained their composure heading into Ancient as they kicked off their map pick with a strong 4-0 lead before MOUZ managed to put up their first round on the board. Cloud9 could widen their lead to 7-1 before MOUZ retaliated and took consecutive rounds to end the half with 5 rounds in their bag.

After grabbing the pistol round in the second half, MOUZ managed to equalize the game 7-7 after an extremely slim post-plant victory in the 14th round. It wasn’t before long that MOUZ picked up their pace once again, winning back-to-back rounds to close out the game 13-7 in their favor.

Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás ruled the scoreboard on the second map with 17 kills and 10 deaths.

With this victory, MOUZ  is set to face off against FaZe in the semi-finals of the BLAST Premier World Final 2023 on December 16, 2023, at 15:00 UTC.

FaZe comeback against G2 to reach Semi-Finals of Blast World Premier

Two winners from Group B, FaZe and G2 took on each other in the upper bracket finals for a spot in the semi-finals of the Blast Premier World Finals. FaZe Clan made an incredible comeback after losing out on Inferno, Karrigan and the gang came out found themselves at a disadvantage on both maps that followed by were able to rob a victory right under G2’s nose.

Map Veto

  • G2 removed Overpass
  • FaZe removed Vertigo
  • G2 picked Inferno
  • FaZe picked Nuke
  • G2 removed Mirage
  • FaZe removed Ancient
  • Anubis was left over

Map 1: Inferno (Pick: G2 , Win: G2, Final Score: 13-7)

Inferno was one of G2’s go-to maps earlier but now with the addition of Nexa, they look to make it their playground once again. G2 got off to a strong start with a pistol-round victory. Hooxi despite failing to put up good numbers, called a well-coordinated T side that left FaZe’s defence without any answers. Nexa’s addition as an entry paid off as the phenomenal T side closed with an 8-4 scoreline.

G2 picked up their form from the first half and sailed to Map Point before FaZe could get a round on the board. NiKo after a disastrous Day 1, showed up with a completely different form, standing out as the best player for the team with 18 kills on the board and a rating of 1.64 in his comfort role of a lurker. G2 won their pick with a convincing 13-7 scoreline.

Map 2: Nuke (Pick: FaZe, Win: FaZe, Final Score: 13-10)

Nuke could be described as a NiKo show but a glowing underperformance from the rest of the G2 crew. G2’s defense was nothing short of solid. Having posted 8 rounds, they looked well poised to close the map once they went to their offense. They picked up 8 rounds even after losing the pistol and lost two more right before closing the half, making an 8-4 switch.

FaZe were able to turn the tides on their defence winning 6 rounds in a row as G2 lost their four-round lead. NiKo put up one of the most extraordinary displays of recent times putting up 30 kills and a rating of 1.84 but still failed to put it over the line on the T side. FaZe made both sides look like a fortress despite NiKo’s best efforts and finally closed the map with a 13-10 scoreline.

Map 3: Anubis (Pick: Decider, Win: FaZe, Final Score: 16-13)

FaZe started strong with a pistol-round victory and followed up with 3 more rounds before G2 could put a round on the board. Hooxi and co. were able to figure out FaZe’s defense with time but that wasn’t enough to close the first half with a lead as FaZe hit back to close the half with a 6-6 scoerline.

The second half saw a much closer contest with both teams trading blows and the shifting momentum made it hard to predict a winner as both teams looked well-equipped to take on each other. G2 reached map point first with 3 rounds in hand but FaZe made a comeback to push the game to OT. G2 looked like a team that had already lost and did nothing but win a single round before FaZe closed the map with a significant victory that will see them book a place in the semi-finals as G2 finds themselves in the quarters.
