Team Apeks beat Team Liquid 2-0 to advance to the semi-finals of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. Here, roster player Damian "kyxsan" Stoilkowski will play Vitality, who had been stronger than Into the Breach the day before.

The final quarterfinals of the Parisian major are expected to be played on the Ancient map, selected by team Apeks. The European side quickly seized the initiative, demolishing the Liquid defence and securing a solid 11-4 lead before the change of hands. In the second half, Team Liquid tried to bring The International back to the server, winning several rounds in a row. However, Apeks managed to pull off a comeback to take a 16-10 lead in the series.

Next, the teams moved to the Overpass map, which proved to be Team Liquid's choice. Here the North Americans won the pistol round, but then lost the forcebuy and let their opponent go ahead, repeating the result of the first round - 11:4. After a change of sides, the Liquid tried again to make a comeback. But a series of mistakes allowed Apeks to win the match and seal the victory - 16:11.
