Group A has concluded with a satisfying 2nd place in the groups and a direct-to-lan as the biggest prize, aside from the $12.500 in prize money from BLAST Premier.

Lucky had an impressive performance in the series, showing how additional practice and team building has proven worthwhile for the young star.

In the Winner's Match against Team Vitality on Friday, Lucky showed tenacity with Astralis' second-best HLTV rating of 0.99 despite a tough loss and most AWP kills across both teams in the series.

In Saturday's all-important battle for LAN tickets against Team Liquid, Lucky carried his team to victory with the best rating on the whole server, 1.31, and 61 frags to his name through the three maps.

The latter performance earned him the official MVP of the series and the first one awarded to Lucky in his time at Astralis.
