This was the Liquid we needed to see. After scraping previous a Spirit who had been enjoying with two stand-ins yesterday, there was some concern that their kind 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 kind. We speculated yesterday that jet lag had probably hampered his efficiency on the server, however in the present day he seemed like his outdated self. Liquid had been all the higher for it. Now, they’re within the Grand Last of Group B, the place they’ll face both GamerLegion or FaZe to safe their spot within the BLAST Premier Spring Last 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 energy.

On day 4, Virtus.professional defeated Cloud9 in an exhilarating collection to safe their place within the Group D Grand Last. It wasn’t a sport with loopy spotlight performs – Virtus.professional video games not often are. It was simply stable CS from VP, and a wake-up name for Cloud9 that they possibly do want an AWPer to succeed on the high stage in spite of everything.

Virtus.professional are a little bit of an anomaly. With out standing as a BLAST or ESL Associate Group, 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 high groups, so it was a disgrace to see them drop off the map to such a level.

This was a very good reminder of precisely what Jame and his staff are able to. On their day, Virtus.professional can beat anybody – even when their model of sluggish, 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 staff popping out on high in a match the place it appeared each had been doing their absolute best to lose. It was a enjoyable watch, however we’ll be flummoxed if they’ll greatest Cloud9 for a spot within the Group D Last.
