After going to the grand finals in BLAST Premier Spring Group, our first match in the knockout stage resulted in a 0-2 sweep against German team BIG.

The game started on one of BIG's favorite maps, Dust 2. BIG started with a strong 1-7 lead against us, but we had other plans in store and ended our CT side with a 7-8 in their favor. With a few back and forth rounds, we lost the first map 16-13. The second map was Mirage, where BIG AWPer "syrsoN" had a fantastic game, shutting down everything and ending the match 16-7 to BIG.

After getting sent to the Last Chance Stage, we faced BIG again after they lost to Faze. We started the series on Ancient, where we just fell short from the win, with BIG winning 14-16.

‍

With our backs against the wall on BIG-favorite Dust 2, the first half ended 3-12 with us on the CT side. The series ended in a clean sweep from BIG, with a strong performance against us.

Next up in the BLAST universe is their Premier Spring Showdown starting April 20.
