NAVI has accrued a streak of seven LAN wins to set up a grand final against Vitality – who has a streak of 15.
After a close series where NAVI dominated Mirage with an 11-1 start, B1ad3 praised his team’s ability to get in the zone.
We have this mode we feel this momentum and when we are in this flow, it’s very hard to stop us,” B1ad3 said. “I don’t remember when we had this kind of flow and we lost it.
Against Vitality tomorrow, they will have to face the flow of a team on a 15-match winning streak on LAN.
We are a team that likes to prepare a lot, and the final tomorrow starts at noon, so it’s against us” B1ad3 said. “But we have been grinding tournaments and matches, and that can help us.”
B1ad3 said that playing so many maps consecutively can give them an edge, because they are comfortable and have gotten momentum. He also said that he prefers to not think about opponents.
If you think in the server that you are against ZywOo […], you’re not going to go for moves,” B1ad3 said. “So we don’t eveb watch [Vitality’s] games; we’re focused on our progress.”
The BO5 grand final of BLAST Rotterdam between Team Vitality and NAVI will take place tomorrow at 12:30 CET. It is the first time they have faced in a grand final since IEM Cologne 2024, with two different players.
