NAVI are in the Grand Final!

And there it is! NAVI are ready to face the Danish giants from Astralis in the Grand final at BLAST Premier Global Final tonight, following their 2-1 victory against the Frenchmen in the consolidation final.

The action started on Nuke which went the full distance and some more, with NAVI taking it over the line in the end. The Russian-Ukrainian side fought back from a 9-15 deficit and from that point onwards, NAVI found the opening kill in every round to take them to 15-15 with s1mple and electronic getting all those 6 kills combined. On the second map of the series, Vitality picked themselves up and shut NAVI down. It started off close but, in the end, shox came alive and made the difference for his team when it was needed. Dust2 was going to decide who would book their ticket to the grand final and here was it Vitality who started off strong, looking good on their CT-side. But a quick turnaround from NAVI and a slap back ended them with a 10-5 first half. When the Russian-Ukrainian side stormed through and tried to fight further on their CT-side, which they are known to be slightly better on, things started to crack for Vitality and that ended up costing them the decider.
