Liquid eliminate MIBR from BLAST Premier Spring Groups

The Brazilian squad will have another chance to make the Spring Final via the Showdown.

Liquid has defeated MIBR in a quick 2-0 series (Vertigo 16-6, Inferno 16-9) to eliminate the Brazilian side from the BLAST Premier Spring Groups. Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo & co. are slated to play FaZe next for a spot at the Spring Final, on Sunday at 16:30 .

The opening stretches of Vertigo had you think MIBR would be able to contest Liquid on the Brazilians' pick, but that perception quickly changed in the middle of the first half as the North American side took over and never let go.

Liquid will rematch FaZe for a spot at the Spring Final

MIBR secured five rounds in a row as Terrorists on the back of a second-round forcebuy win on A to lead 5-1 after consecutive clutches from Bruno "⁠shz⁠" Martinelli and Gustavo "⁠yel⁠" Knittel. But from that point on, it was an all-Liquid show featuring individual brilliance from Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski, Michael "⁠Grim⁠" Wince, and Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic, all of whom had multiple big moments as the team went 15-1 after the early struggles.

It was a similar story on Inferno, where after going down 0-4 early the Brazilians went on a successful streak on the CT side, with Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes, shz, and yel being the three main pillars of the MIBR defense. It was Liquid who came out on top of the half by one round, however, and the North American team then put together a near-flawless defense to secure another comfortable victory.

In the past, Brazilians were eager to see mibr play, nowadays they desperately hope for the org to end.

it is hard to have confidence when you´re getting wrecked even playing fpl truth is, EU is different from NA and even more from SA the choke were actually expected, like a guy, I believe vsm said these days, the worst team in EU beats the best in SA

FPL should never be a performance benchmark for pros, they should focus on what's really important --> game time.

He isn't allowed in team speak or spectate the game. He can't pitch in during tactical time outs. He can only help them prepare

You didn't watch navi vs faze if you think liquid are the favorites. Liquid will get destroyed if faze plays well

mibr Management is on par with north’s by now Their squad with kng and vsm would’ve been the way better option and even the current godsent squad will probably have the better results in the long run

It's still seenable that Liquid is facing some problems, but it seems like it's going the right way. Honestly I thought this is going to be a closer game, both teams semt to have some nice games but are still facing some problems, but yeah, Liquid just destroyed MIBR. Let's see if they can qualify.
