That’s extra prefer it! After a tricky 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.
Nevertheless 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 ensure you 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 had been taking part in with two stand-ins yesterday, there was some concern that their type wouldn’t be sufficient to beat GamerLegion, who seemed robust 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 type. We speculated yesterday that jet lag had doubtlessly hampered his efficiency on the server, however right now he seemed like his previous self. Liquid had been all the higher for it. Now, they’re within the Grand Ultimate of Group B, the place they’ll face both GamerLegion or FaZe to safe their spot within the BLAST Premier Spring Ultimate 2024. With a pair days to relaxation, they might actually do some harm.
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 anyplace close to full power.
Virtus.professional attain Group D Ultimate
On day 4, Virtus.professional defeated Cloud9 in an exciting collection to safe their place within the Group D Grand Ultimate. It wasn’t a sport with loopy spotlight performs – Virtus.professional video games not often are. It was simply strong CS from VP, and a wake-up name for Cloud9 that they perhaps do want an AWPer to succeed on the prime stage in any case.
Virtus.professional are a little bit of an anomaly. With out standing as a BLAST or ESL Associate 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 stage as different prime groups, so it was a disgrace to see them drop off the map to such a level.
This was reminder of precisely what Jame and his workforce are able to. On their day, Virtus.professional can beat anybody – even when their model of gradual, 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 workforce popping out on prime in a match the place it appeared each had been doing their easiest to lose. It was a enjoyable watch, however we’ll be flummoxed if they’ll greatest Cloud9 for a spot within the Group D Ultimate.
