Vitality breeze past Complexity in BLAST Premier Global Final

20-1-2021 15:34

The French team had no weak links today.

The first match of the BLAST Premier Global Final today saw Vitality advance to the upper bracket semi-final stage of the competition over Complexity. Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer's men did the best they could without Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev, but the French team had no difficulties whatsoever to take them down on both maps, Mirage and Dust2.

With this victory, Vitality will wait for the winner of Natus Vincere and Liquid, while Complexity will have to play an elimination series in the first round of the lower bracket.

ZywOo was a beast in Dust2

Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon had a great start in Mirage as he pushed Vitality to win a force-buy in the third round with four M4A4 kills. The teams had a bit of a back-and-forth battle until Complexity won almost five in a row to lead by 7-4. The French side, however, fixed their CT side in time to win the first half by 8-7.

After losing the pistol and the following round, Complexity had a glimpse of hope as William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba hit four difficult Desert Eagle headshots to steal the round for his team.

The play didn't tilt Vitality and they won four in a row, dismantling the double-AWP setup that Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke and Jakob "⁠JUGi⁠" Hansen were using. The expensive tactic only granted one round for Complexity and the French didn't sweat to comfortably close the game 16-9, with Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy topping the scoreboard with 23 frags.

Vitality made their classic substitution for Dust2, swapping Kévin "⁠misutaaa⁠" Rabier for Nabil "⁠Nivera⁠" Benrlitom, which added more aggressiveness to their playbook. The French side conceded five rounds in a row after starting with a 3-0 lead but won the first half by 8-7 much due to some well-executed splits on both bombsites.

Vitality developed early CT momentum off the back of a great read in their CT pistol. Complexity were able to win only one round in the half as Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut reigned supreme with his AWP on A long and the French team easily took the map by 16-8.

Expected win from the best player of 2020! RUSH FeelsBadMan

2021-01-20 15:38

Vitality is looking really good atm. Complexity isn't showing life honestly, maybe it's because of poizon is not here, but overall even with poizon it doesn't seem like this is working.

2021-01-20 15:41

Vitality win Blast

-baitF -jks

jks definitely not living up to the expectations so far (he's not even at 100T level yet)

2021-01-20 15:43

When JuGi in your team = autolose

2021-01-20 15:45

3 top 1 in a row.

The best player of 2020 starting 2021 in a good way. Sick shots on D2

2021-01-20 15:46

He was incredible on dust2. Man just doesnt die. Whereas when I play in level 5 faceit, holding long becomes so hard lmaoo. How does zywoo do it?

2021-01-20 15:53

Expected. jks is playing horribly ;/

Why does col never have a full roster

2021-01-20 15:54

Poizon is sick

2021-01-20 16:06

2021-01-20 16:16

Nice one mate XD

2021-01-21 13:22

jks biggest flop in csgo?

2021-01-20 16:20

Even worse than -golden

2021-01-20 16:29

expected. coL cant catch a break at the moment. They will be fine once they get Poizon back and can properly grind with this roster

2021-01-20 16:26

They are in dire need of a proper bootcamp with their full squad before they can even think about competition. Let's hope poizon will be back soon.

2021-01-20 16:43

yeah its a shame they had to change Obo and then when they get JKS they lose Poizon. Hopefully Poizon is recovering well and he can come back soon because they have a talented roster

2021-01-20 16:45

Godlike performance from him and Shox

2021-01-20 16:57

Little warmup ofc

2021-01-20 17:01

Best player in the world

2021-01-20 17:24

@leobiazzi for the future, the headline should be "Vitality breeze past Complexity *at* BLAST Premier Global Final" and the caption for the picture should read "ZywOo was a beast *on* Dust2" :)
