The intense competition at BLAST Open London has reached a fever pitch. This Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) tournament sees top teams battling it out. Sunday marked the fifth day of play, and it brought some big surprises. Several well-known teams found themselves packing their bags.
The lower bracket semifinals for both Group A and Group B delivered knockout blows. Natus Vincere, a team many expected to go further, was eliminated. GamerLegion also saw their journey end. From Group B, Team Liquid and FlyQuest were unable to hold on. The pressure of these do-or-die matches clearly weighed heavily.
In Group A, M80 edged out Natus Vincere with a 2-1 score. Fnatic showed strong form, defeating GamerLegion 2-0. Over in Group B, Team Spirit dispatched Team Liquid in a clean 2-0 sweep. G2 also delivered a decisive 2-0 victory against FlyQuest. These wins secured their spots in the next round.
One team making waves is FURIA, the only Brazilian squad left in the tournament. They’ve been playing with fire, as seen in a recent social media post from the team:
