The confrontation between Team Vitality and Astralis will close the 1/4 finals of the upper grid of BLAST Premier World Final 2021. Who will start with a victory?
Team Vitality
The Bees took 5-8 places at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021, losing in the quarterfinals to Natus Vincere (0-2). After that, they performed better at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021, reaching the final, but again failed to win the trophy, losing once again to Natus Vincere, only now on three maps. And only after that, ZywOo and the company were able to break the unsuccessful series by winning the IEM Winter 2021. In total, the Bees played six matches, in five of which they won. And in the grand final, we coped with Ninjas in Pyjamas (3-0) without any problems.
Astralis
After the Major, the Danes made two substitutions - instead of dupreeh and magiska, k0nfig and blameF came, after which the team shot at the first tournament, taking third place at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021. However, already at the next tournament, the Astralis shooters made it clear that it was not worth waiting for trophies from them right away, since there was a huge amount of work ahead - only 9th-12th places at IEM Winter 2021, and as for the results, one victory in three matches.
Forecast
Team Vitality on the wave of success will try to take the second tournament in a row to finish the year as best as possible. It's hard to say whether the bees will succeed, but they are obliged to open the tournament with a victory over the unplayed guys from Astralis.
