/Team Liquid defeats Heroic with a score of 2:0 and advances to BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022. In turn, the Danish team goes to the "Last Chance" bracket, where tomorrow, August 28, they will play with representatives of Ninjas in Pajamas.
The second final of the gaming day started on the Vertigo map, which became the choice of the North American team. But if at the start of the meeting the intrigue was still alive, then closer to the change of sides, the players of Team Liquid managed to take the initiative under their control in order to close the half with a comfortable advantage — 9:6. It seemed that now Heroic would be able to wake up, but it only seemed. On the contrary, the North American team quickly adjusted to the opponent, not giving him a single round after the switch of sides — 16:6.
Next, the teams moved to the Overpass map, which became the choice of Heroic. And again, the audience was dumbfounded by the actions of the Danish team, which, as it seemed, did not recover after the first map. Well, Team Liquid once again showed exemplary defense, having managed to close the half with a devastating score — 12:3. After the side switch, the Danish team still tried to get back into the game, winning the force round. However, the "liquid" ones quickly put the opponent in place, thereby securing a confident victory at the opponent's pick - 16:8.
A little earlier, the OG team beat Astralis with a score of 2:0 and also made it to BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022.
