Today is the first day of the BLAST Slam VII playoffs
We’re covering the first two matches
Team Yandex vs. Aurora
I stand by my words that Yandex will take this tournament. There will be a significant skill gap in this match. Team Yandex will win and advance
Team Falcons vs. Team Liquid
The Falcons have a sub; it’ll be very tough without Stas. In the Year of the Fire Horse, Team Liquid has been incredibly lucky—they scraped through the groups due to visa issues, and now they’re set for a win. I don’t believe in Soumaila
LGD vs. Team Yandex/Aurora
LGD is in turbo mode, flooring it; they finished the group stage at the top and made it through the qualifiers—it’s tough to draft against them. But everyone runs out of gas eventually, so I think Yandex will pull it off <...>
Team Falcons is competing in the playoffs with a substitution—Samael “Suma1L” Hassan is replacing Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak, who ran into visa issues. The final stage of BLAST Slam VII takes place from June 4 to 7.
