First match of the entire event.
New season of BLAST Premier Fall started with Astralis facing off Evil Geniuses in the group A opener. Neither team was considered as a favourite in its group to advance so starting with a win was even more important than usual.
Back and forth to start Dust2, EG managed to obtain a narrow lead on their offence, but a switch to defence did not prove to be fruitful, as Astralis ran over bombsites and went on a spree of rounds to close the first game out, “16-11”. Moving to Nuke, it was the Danish team’s offence to do the work, as they picked up a monstrous “11-4” lead going to the defence and despite EG’s best efforts to come back into the map, it was over at “16-10”, as Astralis picked up a “2-0” victory.
Next the Danes will face off a winner of Team Vitality-Team Liquid match, while Evil Geniuses are going to face the loser of the very same game with a relegation to the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown on the line.
