BLAST Showdown Europe moves to semi-finals; Vitality to face Astralis
BIG were the only favorites to bow out in the quarter-finals, losing to Sangal in a three-map series.
BLAST Premier Fall Showdown Europe quarter-finals have come to an end, with two Danish squads in HEROIC and Astralis still in with a shot at qualifying for the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022 played in Copenhagen, following their respective wins against ECSTATIC and Eternal Fire.
The other two semi-finalists are the current No.1 team in the world Vitality and Sangal, who built on their encouraging RMR display with an upset against BIG.

The bracket now pits Vitality against Astralis, with the Danish squad using Mikkel "MistR" Thomsen as a stand-in after parting ways with Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke due to "personal circumstances" earlier in the month.

The other semi-final should give HEROIC an easier path to the final, provided they can overcome the underdogs of Sangal. The teams met at the RMR earlier in the month, with the Danes comfortably winning 16-6 on Inferno.
The Showdown winners will secure a place at the Fall Final LAN event in Denmark, with the other open spot at the eight-team event going to the winner of the North American Showdown.
BLAST Showdown Europe schedule for the remaining games is as follows:
Friday, October 21
Saturday, October 22
Sunday, October 23
19:30 - Grand Final (BO3)
