GODSENT, MAD Lions qualify for BLAST Premier Fall Showdown

1-11-2020 23:16

The two teams will join the likes of Evil Geniuses, Complexity, and Liquid on the team list for the last-chance event.

GODSENT and MAD Lions have topped Elisa Invitational 2, prevailing over HEROIC and HAVU, respectively, to secure spots in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown.

Kevin "⁠kRYSTAL⁠" Amend's side were the first to claim their berth, edging out a two-map series victory over Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller's crew. Amidst reports that Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala could be on his way to ENCE, the international team came back from 5-10 deficits on Nuke and Overpass, with the Finnish rifler playing a key role throughout the series, especially on the final map, where he posted a 32-17 K-D and a 1.59 rating to help his side take the series.

zehN led GODSENT in a comeback effort on Overpass

Meanwhile, MAD Lions were able to fend off HAVU in a series that went the distance, with the two teams taking each other's map picks before clashing in a Train decider. There, the Danish roster edged out a one-round lead at the end of their offensive effort before assuming firm control on the CT side, conceding only four rounds en route to a 16-11 finish.

The team list for BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Showdown now looks as follows:

+1 godsent works way to well

2020-11-01 23:29

Yes, I am becoming a big fan. Nice to see how they are grinding their way up.

would be really sad to see him leave, they just want him because he is the best finnish player outside of ENCE right now. He doesn't even fit with his roles clashing with those of Jamppi and sergej... Also it would destroy Godsent, apparently they don't have the money to buyout a player of his caliber from another team...

2020-11-01 23:36

not just sergej and Jamppii lol, suNny also shares a lot of roles with zehN, ENCE is just a mess rn, zehN would only make it worse.

I don't think it is a dead team. Godsent isn't doing much better. They seem more solid than Ence, but Ence has more potential overall, if they can fix motivation/ stress management issues and get solid lineup. Either kick Jamppi or get active 6 player roster. I don't think that zehn should switch to Ence, if we are looking only team performance. But the other thing is that Ence is Finnish team and especially when LAN tournaments starts again, it is much easier travel together and train together when they are all from the same country. GODSENT seems to lack firepower to be the top team. Their gameplay seems solid, but they cannot win those fights. As we saw against Astralis in Inferno, they outplayed Astralis many times, but they couldn't hold the site and Astralis got retakes.

Ez invite for Heroic anyway

2020-11-01 23:34

Of blast is smart they don't invite someone who failed the qualifier. It makes look them foolish. Better invite sprout or other teams. I mean they kick out so many teams with their tournament format. Invite them all in the end makes no sense

2020-11-02 04:39

Im 90% percent sure they will invite the top 6 teams in the rankings

2020-11-02 15:09

XAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXA NICE ONE HEROIC

2020-11-01 23:37

I hope that after that Zehn will not join ENCE. GODSENT is much better.

2020-11-02 00:29

zehN don't leave!

2020-11-02 00:26

GODSENT is looking pretty good, I'm surprised by them, if they change kRYSTAL this team could be maybe even TOP 10. And MAD Lions is looking really good atm. It will be interesting to see MAD Lions get a chance at playing on such a event.

2020-11-02 00:27

Krystal is really stunting the development of 4 great players

2020-11-02 01:41

That's excatly what I mean.

2020-11-02 02:13

Non of them would be at this level without him. The opposite is the case the 4 players have no development without him.

2020-11-02 04:44

Ah yes, more silvers complaining about krystal because only K/D matters in this game

2020-11-02 08:08

K/D definitely matters

2020-11-02 10:45

I didn't say it did not matter

2020-11-02 11:01

If you think that even on a T3 level a team can have IGL who is playing that trash, they can be good and they are fine because he is the IGL so who cares that he is trash, dude it's 2020, times have changed, everyone needs to frag if you want to be a good team.
