That’s extra prefer it! After a troublesome day three on the BLAST Premier Spring Teams 2024, Liquid confirmed spectacular resilience to enhance right away on day 4. We’ve seen one other set of matches in Copenhagen from Group B and D, with the match now only a few days from its conclusion.
However it wasn’t simply Liquid who turned up on the day. We’re bringing you the highlights from day 4 of the BLAST Premier Spring Teams 2024, to be sure to don’t miss out on the vital moments.
Liquid bounce again
This was the Liquid we wished to see. After scraping previous a Spirit who have been enjoying with two stand-ins yesterday, there was some concern that their kind wouldn’t be sufficient to beat GamerLegion, who seemed sturdy in opposition to FaZe. There was no want for any fear. What Liquid gave us was a glimpse of their potential, with each participant having their spotlight second throughout a 2:0 collection in opposition to GamerLegion.
The important thing turning level was cadiaN’s kind. We speculated yesterday that jet lag had doubtlessly hampered his efficiency on the server, however in the present day he seemed like his previous self. Liquid have been all the higher for it. Now, they’re within the Grand Closing of Group B, the place they’ll face both GamerLegion or FaZe to safe their spot within the BLAST Premier Spring Closing 2024. With a pair days to relaxation, they may actually do some injury.
Elsewhere in Group B, FaZe walked over the donk-less Spirit 2:0. There’s not a lot to gleam from this sport, given Spirit aren’t competing at wherever close to full power.
Virtus.professional attain Group D Closing
On day 4, Virtus.professional defeated Cloud9 in an exciting collection to safe their place within the Group D Grand Closing. It wasn’t a sport with loopy spotlight performs – Virtus.professional video games hardly ever are. It was simply stable CS from VP, and a wake-up name for Cloud9 that they possibly do want an AWPer to succeed on the high degree in any case.
Virtus.professional are a little bit of an anomaly. With out standing as a BLAST or ESL Accomplice Crew, they spent a lot of 2023 grinding on-line occasions, so didn’t have a lot presence within the Tier 1 scene final yr. High quality-wise, they’re clearly on the identical degree as different high groups, so it was a disgrace to see them drop off the map to such a level.
This was a great reminder of precisely what Jame and his group are able to. On their day, Virtus.professional can beat anybody – even when their model of sluggish, economical CS isn’t for everybody.
The second sport of the day was a battle of the mid. Heroic’s new squad confronted off in opposition to BIG, with the German group popping out on high in a match the place it appeared each have been doing their absolute best to lose. It was a enjoyable watch, however we’ll be flummoxed if they’ll finest Cloud9 for a spot within the Group D Closing.
