Cloud9 secure last spot at BLAST World Final

With Complexity eliminated in Copenhagen, the Russian team is automatically qualified for the season-ending event.

Cloud9 will attend the BLAST World Final next month

Cloud9 have qualified for the BLAST Premier World Final following Complexity’s elimination at the Fall Final. They are the eighth and final team confirmed for the $1 million event in Abu Dhabi.

The last spot was supposed to go to the winner of the Fall Final, where FaZe and Vitality will contest the title decider on Sunday. But both teams are already qualified, which meant that an extra spot had to be determined by the BLAST leaderboard.

Cloud9 leapfrogged Astralis to seventh in the BLAST leaderboard on Friday after beating HEROIC 2-0 in the quarter-final stage in Copenhagen. With the six teams ranked above Cloud9 all qualified, the only scenario where the Russian side would not secure a spot was if Complexity won the Fall Final.

The qualification adds to an already busy finish to the season for Cloud9, who will also attend BetBoom Dacha in Dubai. That tournament, featuring a $300,000 prize pool, will end just three days before the BLAST World Final is scheduled to start. Cloud9 and HEROIC are the only two teams that will attend both events.

The BLAST Premier World Final will take place between December 13 and 17 at the Etihad Arena, the same venue that staged last year's event. Below you can find all eight teams qualified for the tournament:

No way you just called VP better than Na'Vi, what did they even do this year to be better than them? VP is not even third best team in CIS; C9, Spirit and BB are better than them. And considering that CIS CS has pretty bad results this year, it says alot.

Happy for C9 and boombl4! Even though I'm a Na'Vi fan, C9 is starting to grow on me with the old Na'Vi core. Still can't believe boombl4 got kicked from Na'Vi, but alas, what's done is done. Here's hoping b1t and sim1ple can find their way to C9 somehow in the future for one last ride together and win another major in CS2!

you and I think literally the same way about this situation. I think Boombla knows the potential of the 2021 roster, especially with the opportunity of a new game. B1t has clicked in CS2, I hope he can be rescued from at this point, NAVI prison, along with S1. They could care less playing with Russians, they are best friends, even along with Blade. I think all the players respect Blade very much because he scouted them, helped them to win grand slam and a major.

I doubt they will be disqualified. CadiaN was so happy yesterday that because Heroic lost to C9 Astralis won't go to World Final. He would rather stay with Heroic for one more tournament than let Astralis have a win.

They should play instead of Heroic. In Blast leaderboards Astralis & Liquid are next but they’ve changed rosters as well, so the only possible substitute is Complexity.
