The first day of the first tournament after the summer off-season has come to an end. At BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023, four teams with updated rosters made their debut today. Some have only changed one player, while others have almost completely reshuffled their roster.

The match between Vitality and Evil Geniuses took place without any hope for intrigue - the European titans and major champions allowed the Americans to take only 9 rounds in total over two maps. The EG Black players, who were moved to the main team during the summer break, could not resist one of the strongest teams in the world.

Vitality's newcomer, Shahar flameZ Shushan, in his very first match for the new team, showed the best statistics. But the main test for the Israeli player is yet to come, as on July 15 he and his teammates will play against the strengthened Complexity team.

The first opponents for Complexity with Jonathan EliGE Yablonovsky were NIP, where Hampus "hampus" Poser returned to the captain's post. Unlike the previous bo3 series, in this one, the intrigue was maintained until the last rounds of the third map, but in the end, the American club won 2:1.
