Vitality entered BLAST Premier: Fall 2020 as the number 1 favorite and the number 1 team in CS:GO. Now, at the end of the tournament, we can understand why. BLAST Premier: Fall 2020 Results BLAST Premier: Fall 2020 was a hugely important event, not only because of its prize pool ($425,000). It also has to do with the fact that many of the best teams in the world participated in it. To win against the likes of Natus Vincere, mousesports, and Astralis, which in turn won matches against the likes of G2 Esports and FURIA Esports, is quite impressive. It not unexpected because, as I have said before, Vitality was the big favorite going into the race, but it's still a solid confirmation of their value. Quarterfinals s1mple
In the Quarterfinals, Vitality encountered mousesports. And although karrigan's team is ranked 8th globally, they were no match for RpK and his crew. This match was a complete stomp: 16 – 7 on Inferno and 16 – 8 on Dust II. Keep in mind that Vitality played both maps with a stand-in.
In the other 3 matches of the Quarterfinals Stage of BLAST Premier: Fall 2020, Natus Vincere defeated Astralis (2 – 1), G2 Esports beat FURIA (2 – 1), and BIG crushed OG (2 – 0). By far, the most disputed of these 3 matches was the one between Na'Vi and Astralis. Magisk's team won the first map (Inferno) with a score of 16 – 14, which is probably the most depressing score at which you can lose. But on Nuke and Dust II, s1mple's team showed exceptional determination and won. The scores were close again, 16 – 12 and 16 – 14, but the key thing is that Na'Vi was the winner. Semifinals ZywOo
In the Semifinals, s1mple almost did it. Vitality needed extra time on both maps to win (19 – 15 on Nuke and 19 – 17 on Inferno), which clearly proved that Na'Vi is only slightly weaker than the number 1 team in the world.
