Updated on

BLAST Premier Spring Group A took place these past few days and played well. MIBR and NiP fell early and it was the FaZe and Liquid teams that played in the group's grand final on Sunday.

The Brazilian team had a good performance at the beginning of the series, but ended up defeated by Team Liquid by 2 to 0 and fell to the recap of Group A. MIBR's choice map, Vertigo started out good for the Americans, who, on the defensive side, scored 5-1. The Brazilian team reacted in the seventh round, fitting a sequence of eight points and finishing the first stage in front by 9-6. After the turn of sides, Epitácio “TACO” de Melo and his companions extended the advantage to 13-6. That's when Liquid's reaction began, which added seven consecutive points to make everything 13-13 equal. Equality insisted on staying on the scoreboard and the game went to overtime.

There, Keith's star “NAF” Markovic shone, who appeared in the crucial rounds to give the Americans a 22-19 victory after two extra times.

In Inferno, an old MIBR problem, the Americans ran over in the first stage. Starting on the terrorist side, Liquid opened a 10-0 lead before seeing opponents score. The Brazilians reacted only in the final stretch, making four points and seeing the score stay 4-11. At the beginning of the second half, MIBR lost the pistol but reacted in the following rounds, reducing the advantage to 8-12. Jonathan “ELiGE” Jablonowski and his teammates reacted in the sequence and were quick to close the map, making 16-9.
