Natus Vincere starts the new year with a dominating win over world No.1 Astralis finishing 2-0 in the BLAST Premier Global Final 2020 to take the first title of the year for themselves. The CIS team just saw off Vitality in a three map series and with no sign of fatigue showed world-class performance and outmatched Astralis.
One more reason to celebrate for the team as Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev was announced as the tournament's MVP and carried the team towards a win as he has done so many times. The team made a comeback after losing to Team Liquid in the first match and this is the same team that ended the IEM Katowice 2020 campaign with a lower bracket run. Astralis were blindsided by NAVI even after having Lucas "Bubzkji" Andersen who was playing his first game in 2021.
