BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023Live updates from BLAST Fall Final quarter-finals
The Copenhagen tournament is heading into the playoffs with the two quarter-final matchups.
Despite Natus Vincere's exit, Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy was satisfied with the Ukrainian's performance in the post-match interview. "He was doing great for the first event in a new system."
"We made some mistakes, maybe we were a little bit nervous. We are seeing what works and what doesn't, so we have more material to work with," he said about their performance as a whole.
Natus Vincere 10-13 
Complexity
Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski's masterclass was enough for Complexity to edge out a 13-10 victory against Natus Vincere. It was a back-and-forth ending to Nuke, where a 2vs5 conversion proved crucial. Håkon "hallzerk" Fjærli also showed up after a quiet series, winning a 1vs2 and 1vs1 clutch in the final two rounds to close out the game for Complexity.
Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski is playing like a man possessed, but Complexity still haven't taken the lead.
Natus Vincere sit one round ahead of their opponents, but this is all to play for. Both teams have a full-buy in the next.
It started well for Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen and company, but Complexity stabilized to win the half. Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski took over from Mihai "iM" Ivan as the dominant force on the server, the North American rifler sits on 16 kills and 156 ADR.
Natus Vincere have won four out of five pistols so far, and the fifth seems like a must if they wish to make the Fall Final top four.
Mihai "iM" Ivan has had a measured performance in the series so far, but his start to Nuke has been electric. He sits on seven impactful kills after five rounds, and his Ramp flank got his team the lead.
If he can continue this kind of performance, Natus Vincere have every chance of taking this.
Natus Vincere 6-13 Complexity
Complexity started to dominate as soon as they got a full-buy round and secured a one-sided 13-6 victory. Natus Vincere were visibly second-best on their opponent's map pick and will hope for a change of fortunes on Nuke.
The Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen played the map just twice, with both games being played in CS:GO, and beat FaZe and Eternal Fire at ESL Pro League S18.
Their CT side left much to be desired, but Natus Vincere got off to a good start on their offense. An A attack in the pistol got them a winning start, and Mihai "iM" Ivan came to the rescue with a 1vs3 in the anti-eco round. Let's see if they can make this interesting.
Complexity are not slowing down. Even when they look pressured against a half-buy, Ricky "floppy" Kemery came to the rescue with a 1vs3 clutch. As the kids say, you really can't stop the flop.
Mohan "launders" Govindasamy said in the pre-game talk that if Complexity get four rounds in the first half, we can safely move to the decider.
They are already at that mark despite losing the pistol, and look good for it.
Natus Vincere 13-10 Complexity
Complexity were 3-11 down at one point before their impressive T side got them back into the game and into double digits. Natus Vincere's B defense did just enough in the dying stages of the map, however, and the European combine closed out a 13-10 victory.
Valeriy "b1t" Vakhovskiy cooled off on the CT side, but his teammates picked up the slack. Complexity's pick of Overpass is up next.
