Eternal Fire qualify for BLAST Fall Showdown; MOUZ miss out

The Turkish superteam is headed to the $135,000 competition in October.

Eternal Fire have triumphed in TWR Eastern European Masters Fall 2022 to qualify for the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown. The Turks went 2-1 in the group stage to reach the playoffs where they took down MOUZ and SINNERS to clinch their BLAST spot.

MOUZ were the favorites coming into the tournament as the highest-ranked team at the event. They topped Group A with a spotless record, one which includes a blowout 16-1 win over ONYX. Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong's side were unable to continue their winning ways in the knockout stage, however, and were eliminated by Eternal Fire 1-2 in an extremely close semi-final.

XANTARES and woxic were among the event's highest-rated players with 1.27 and 1.18 ratings, respectively

SINNERS drew first blood in the grand final after securing Overpass 16-11 to go up 1-0. Eternal Fire closed out the next map in the final round of regulation to level the series and scored a convincing 16-8 win on Inferno to complete the reverse-sweep which sealed their place at the Fall Showdown.

Engin "⁠MAJ3R⁠" Küpeli and company join the likes of Astralis, Vitality, and HEROIC in the list of teams that have already qualified for the BLAST Fall Showdown, which will run from October 19-23.

Only three spots are yet to be filled in the list of 16 teams attending the Fall Showdown. One slot will be awarded to the winner of Ace North American Masters Fall while the last two will be given to squads that receive a direct invitation from the tournament organizers.

Teams will not only be competing for the $135,000 prize pool, but for two spots at the BLAST Fall Final in November as well.

Misread the headline as EF qualifying for playoffs over mouz and was wondering why EG didn't get the spot instead.

All the teams who beat the expected teams (fnatic, MOUZ, ENCE) qualified. That's nice.

Maybe we have seen two different EPL:D As I can see, EF won only 2 matches, 1 of them against the weakest team in EPL. The BLAST Premier Fall Showdown will be a lan event, so their spot is a waste. Beside all these, EF is an unfair team, just have a look at previous rmr against dig. That was a shame.

2-1 against Furia and 32-23 against C9 is not a bad result. Better result than whole hungarian scene ever did, atleast. and funny, they literally 2-0'ed 2 top5 teams on LAN cry is free gyazo.com/25f01d674defcd67bd142e19853046.. continue saying it will be on LAN

5 months = 1 year. Noice... Btw, the time doesn't matter. This is about mentality. And theirs is disgusting. I'd rather choose a fair team with poor performance, than a better and unfair team. Thats the difference between us.

If a criminal is not convicted by a judge, he still remains a criminal, and I'm not going to like someone just because the ESL admins support this kind of behaviour. And this isn't hate, any person with normal moral values should agree with me.

It was a 4v5 and they still had 1 minute to play. I listened woxic's interviews to turkish channels, he said "we were playing our game then imor said there is no bomb, so we had to stop doing tactics or whatever and push to kill them" I personally don't think they could've won that round but this is CS you don't know what can happen next. So admins had to stand by EF's side.
