Astralis and Natus Vincere secured the ultimate two berths into the Fall Ultimate through profitable their play-in suits Sunday to conclude the BLAST Premier: Fall Teams 2024 match in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Astralis swept Ninjas in Pyjamas 2-0 and NaVi did the similar to Complexity Gaming. The suits had been best-of-three, do-or-die showdowns to fill out the Fall Ultimate box.
The play-in level adopted Saturday’s 4 workforce finals that noticed Staff Spirit, Staff Power, G2 Esports and Staff Liquid win their respective teams and advance without delay to the Fall Ultimate. The 4 second-place groups then proceeded to Sunday’s play-ins, a couple of single-elimination suits to resolve the rest two berths for the Fall Ultimate.
Sunday’s losers, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Complexity, will advance to the Fall Showdown.
Astralis ruled Ninjas 13-6 on Mirage and 13-5 on Inferno. Nicolai “instrument” Reedtz led Astralis with 30 kills and a plus-13 kills-to-deaths differential, as all 5 contributors in their all-Danish roster completed with sure Okay-Ds.
NaVi pulled out a 13-11 win on Anubis earlier than completing Complexity with a 13-6 triumph on Nuke. Ukraine’s Ihor “w0nderful” Zhdanov paced NaVi with 37 kills and a plus-15 Okay-D.
