Vitality are the first team to qualify for the BLAST Premier Spring Final

Lotan "Spinx" Giladi and Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut gave outstanding performances that were essential to completing the international mix. Vitality defeated Heroic 2-1 to become the first team to advance to the BLAST Premier Spring Final. They then defeated the Franco-Danish combination following a convincing performance on Mirage (16-11), fell to Nuke (13-16), and then bounced back with a more controlled performance on Vertigo (16-8).

Heroic aren't out of the race just yet; rather, they've been demoted to the knockout stage, where they must defeat the victor of the series between BIG and Liquid in order to have a shot at making it to the Spring Final. The Casper "cadiaN" Mller-led team would have to compete in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown, which is set to take place from April 12-April 16, if they were to suffer a defeat.
