BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 North America

FURIA ease past ATK in BLAST NA Showdown

The replacement team were unable to make a dent against the Brazilian giants.

In the second quarterfinal match of the BLAST Spring Showdown North America, FURIA have taken down ATK 2-0 in swift fashion. Following the travel issues for Sharks, ATK were invited to fill the spot of the Brazilian squad, having placed second in the Ace North American Masters qualifying event.

ATK recently underwent a roster change when Erik "⁠truth⁠" Hansen Dyrnes departed the team due to health reasons. The lineup found a replacement in Michael "⁠Swisher⁠" Schmid, who had just become free following the disbanding of Orgless.

FURIA will face GODSENT in the semifinals

The quarterfinal series kicked off on Inferno, which saw the international team take some early rounds and earn a 6-3 lead. However, the defense of FURIA started to warm up, and the Brazilian squad won out the rest of the half to lead 9-6. This momentum carried over into their T side, with FURIA easily closing out the map 16-8.

FURIA's own pick of Vertigo ended up even more one-sided, with ATK only winning a single round following a ninja defuse from Gareth "⁠MisteM⁠" Ries. Brazilian youngster André "⁠drop⁠" Abreu also scored his highest map rating ever, 2.05, posting a 100% KAST and 109 ADR.

With the victory, FURIA have moved on to the semifinals of the Showdown, where they are set to face off against domestic rivals GODSENT. Before that though, there are still two remaining quarterfinals featuring Complexity, MIBR, Liquid, and paiN to be played. Both matches will take place Friday, April 29.

Lowest rating of the team 1.43... Well thats not something you see everyday in a competitive match

2022-04-29 05:54

that's what you get when you let the best NA/SA team compete against a random tier 3 NA team bro :D

2022-04-29 10:12

Competitive how? Just a bashing of randoms

2022-04-29 10:27

I mean regardless of their quality, they are still a real org team with players who are paid and are in the top 15 (maybe 20) CS teams playing in NA, Its not just FACEIT lobby team

2022-04-29 16:53

Are you sure they are paid? But, yeah, you could always set the bar low enough.

2022-04-29 15:48

im pretty sure it was ⁠Swisher not MisteM who ninja defused, a typo i think

2022-04-29 11:06

Swisher got a ninja defuse on Inferno, while MisteM stuck one through smoke on Vertigo in a 1v1 vs Yuurih, think the wording might be a bit confusing tbh.
