The preview of BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals

The upcoming event will be very interesting, at least. First and foremost, the teams, which have demonstrated nice results at BLAST Premier Fall 2020, will participate in it and, secondly, the participants will include the best CS:GO teams in the world, which, by the way, have stood out with good results at any competitions. Besides, there will be interesting matches in the first pairs, which makes this tournament interesting to watch from the very first day.

The Danish team Astralis is definitely the main favorite of the upcoming championship. The red star is ready to shine over Denmark and please its fans. The return of the legendary captain gla1ve on his rightful place has joined the list of the reasons why fans of Astralis can be happy. Magisk was holding an in-game leader position after his return for some time but now, according to Lukas ‘gla1ve’ Rossander, his teammate can focus on headshots, while gla1ve will be playing as a captain of the team. What is more, Astralis became the winner of DreamHack Masters Winter 2020 Europe on December 6, which reflects the successful role changes in the team.

Mousesports, which has placed second at DreamHack Masters Winter 2020 Europe, has been looking well recently. The European “mice” were not able to get in shape for a long time and now, it seems that the time has come for us to watch their good performance. We see a few things as preconditions for this: the team achieved victory at BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Showdown, it placed second at DreamHack Masters Winter 2020 Europe, ropz with his teammates was two steps away from a victory in the final of DH Masters. In the final against Astralis, mousesports managed to win on Inferno against the Danes, having lost only three rounds there, but the battle on Vertigo was difficult for both sides and the teams needed an overtime series to determine the winner. We consider all the above-mentioned as mousesports’ good shape, which it will be interesting to follow.

The Europeans will face in the battle with Vitality, which makes the first match even more interesting because Vitality is one of the strongest CS:GO rosters in the world, which introduces a new meta with six active players on the roster. Vitality managed to bring their idea to the victorious end at Intel Extreme Masters Beijing Online 2020 Europe — Nivera helped the team to achieve triumph, replacing shox or mishutaa in the team from time to time.

NAVI is probably one of the reasons why people will be watching BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals. Natus Vincere earned the love of the public a long time ago and the duet of s1mple and electronic keeps fans of the tag excited. NAVI will not have the easiest objective in the first match — to beat Astralis. Previously, we have said that the Danes are in a nice gaming shape and they will have all chances to prevail at the championship. So, it will be even more interesting to watch the battle between Natus Vincere and Astralis. NAVI has recently held second place at IEM Beijing Online 2020 Europe, having lost to Vitality. The match was bright and memorable and it was over with a result of 2-3. The representatives of Natus Vincere might be luckier in the first match at BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals and they will achieve victory but, as practice shows, NAVI does not like to win debut matches. If it is so or not, we will find out very soon.

Considering the recent events, OG captures not less interest than, for example, Vitality and Astralis. The team placed second in the second season of FLASHPOINT, which was over on December 6, and received the reward of $250,000. Despite the list of participants was not that powerful, like at the upcoming BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals, however, the stakes were also high and the team made its best to advance to the grand final. As a result, having created a good fight, the team became the vice-champion, having stopped one step away from the victory. According to bookmakers, OG can be called an outsider, probably, rather than the favorite of the competition. We prefer to call this team the dark horse. The Europeans might enter the top four and impress viewers.

BIG is the strongest team in Germany but their gaming shape has left much more to be desired in recent time. The team regularly held places in the top 8 and BIG became the winner in the last tournament, in which the team was participating. It might sound great but it was a small regional championship, Merkur Masters Season 2, and the competition will be way more serious at BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals, to say the least. A similar description can be given to FURIA Esports. The team is good but only in its region. This does not make it the favorite of the competition because there are the other stronger teams, but FURIA can’t be called an underdog at the same time. That is why BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals is so interesting — all teams have stood out with something recently and it is difficult to name the obvious outsider, which even experts from bookmaker companies can’t do.

G2 Esports is another team, which will be interesting to follow. WIth NiKo’s arrival, there were changes for the better in the squad of the French team. Now, the Kovac cousins are easier to realize their potential with the help of high morale. The team has started demonstrating good changes and now, the team has good chances to enter the top four at BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals. 

We will be able to find out if our words are right or understand that we have made a mistake very soon. The championship starts at 18:30 UTC +0 today.
