Yes, the game took I think 73 minutes in total. The last clash near roshan with multiple buy backs done, it was a disaster for Team Spirit when Yatoro's morphling was killed just after it bought back. And XG continues to dominate, they beat Parivision just now with a 2-1 score. Tomorrow, we'll see XG against Team Yandex and in the finals, it is Tundra that's waiting for whoever wins against each other. We're close to see this tournament ends.

The final at BLAST Open Rotterdam is set to be Vitality vs NAVI. Vitality are currently leading 2-0 and are dominating the match. NAVI seem to have run out of options, and ropz has emerged as the standout player in this match. He continues to carry his team, having secured a total of 46 kills across the two maps. On the other side, the scores are almost level, with Makazze and b1t standing out slightly. Dust2, the third map, is currently being played, and Vitality have managed to take a 3-0 lead. As Dust2 is their pick, I expect them to win this map as well, defeating their opponents 3-0 to claim the tournament title.

I’m eagerly waiting to see when Vitality will finally slow down. They keep defeating their opponents one by one and show no signs of stopping. By defeating NaVi 3-0 to claim the championship, Vitality also managed to reach a 16-game winning streak. There’s probably just a slight gap left between them and Prime Astralis. I can’t remember a team dominating like this for such a long time. They’ll likely break a bunch more records soon.

Lucky for the 3rd map.



Yes, got lucky to win that 3rd map. Also the first start of ari + bzm in the mid punishing chira's ember is such a big advantage. Their teamfight and with that beastmaster mid + tidehunter are hard heroes to kill. And for the 4th map, the odds for Tundra is still good and the same, not the series winner but this 4th map might be the ending for this tournament.

They've been demonstrating their superiority for a long time, and everything indicates that they will tie with Astralis if they win the next major. If they win just one more, they will become the most successful team in CS:GO history.

Some interesting moves before this tournament.
aik joining Mouz, leaving Pipsqueak+4, which are now looking for a new pos5.
Ghost joining Gamerlegion as their new carry.
haze replacing Zayac on Navi (assuming their are the last invited team).
And another interesting move is God XinQ is back, replacing planet on Vici gaming.

I don't know if you saw, but ropz achieved a great feat in Vitality's history last Sunday. He became the first player, besides ZywOo, to be elected MVP in Vitality. This shows that when one player is having a slightly downturn, there are others to carry the team. A great team that is becoming more and more the best in the history of CS:GO.

FaZe are a far cry from their former selves. I haven’t quite figured out what the problem is with them, and if they can’t sort it out in the coming days, we may well have to say that things will only get worse. FaZe lost 2-1 to Passion UA and dropped into the lower bracket. They actually put in a good performance, and it’s fair to say the match was a close one. Passion UA’s new signings were the standout performers. Senzu’s performance, in particular, secured the victory for his team. Both teams played at a similar level, so in my view, there isn’t a huge gap in quality between the players. Having lost the match due to minor errors, FaZe will need to make their way through the lower bracket to reach the tournament final.

Thanks for these updates, I was about to post them but thanks you did it first. I'm happy to see xinQ is back in action and it seems that gamerlegion is testing new potential carry replacing yamsun.

Yeah, it's an official scrim before the PGL Wallachia comes. They've got a lot games to test and read this current path that has came with an 'a' version. And before this tournament comes, there's the on going RES Unchained 4 qualifier for Blast Slam VII.

Senzu channeled his inner MongolZ and went crazy, dropping 35 kills on that decider map. FaZe really lacks the firepower at this point, and honestly, these back to back losses are for the better if they'll accelerate the changes that should've happened back then before they went on that crazy run during the previous major.

I also noticed Mouz brought in lorenof for RES Unchained qualifiers and I only found out earlier that Nigma Galaxy got rolled by Team Lynx in the open qualifiers despite having the networth lead throughout the game.
