After a heavy defeat on Dust2 (3:13), Liquid rallied to win the next two maps: Nuke (13:11) and Anubis (13:10). Thanks to this victory, Liquid advanced to the finals of the top bracket of Group B, where they will meet Vitality, who had previously confidently defeated Astralis.

On the first map, Dust2 Spirit demonstrated complete dominance. Donk collected 62 frags in three maps, earning MVP with a rating of 7.6. Spirit controlled the game from the very beginning, closing the rounds one by one and leaving Liquid no chance to get into the game.
But Liquid was not going to give up and showed their endurance on the second map, Nuke. The key moment was the contribution of ultimate, who earned 25 frags and helped the team win 13:11. His important frags in key moments and stability in important rounds were decisive.
The third Anubis map was another challenge for both teams. From the very beginning, it was an even fight, but Liquid proved to be stronger in the decisive moments, winning 13:10. This allowed the team to close the series with a score of 2:1 and move on to the upper bracket.

After this match, Liquid demonstrated their ability to withstand pressure and get back into the game even after a heavy defeat. The team is in good shape for the group finals, and their new tactics on Nuke and Anubis have proven effective.
Spirit, on the other hand, will have to work on their mistakes if they want to keep their chances of further participation in the tournament. Their play on Dust2 was dominant, but on the following maps, they were unable to find an answer to Liquid's attacking strategy.

BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 continues to surprise viewers with intense matches and unexpected results. Liquid's success makes them one of the favorites to win, but whether they can handle Vitality in the next match is the main question.
