BLAST Bounty S1 Finals - Preview
Day 2 of the Bounty playoffs is upon us, with 2 cases of David vs. Goliath. But with AKs instead of slingshots.
Kicking the day off with Vitality vs. Eternal Fire. Clearly, Vitality is the favourite, ropz’ integration has been a great success so far as he’s been fragging out. But never underestimate the power of a XANTARES peek. Eternal Fire is always dangerous.
Vitality knows that more than anyone, having lost three of their last four meetings with the Turkish side. EF’s last win was made possible thanks to a massive game from woxic, and he’s been struggling a lot recently. Facing ZywOo that’s absolutely not what you want if you’re a Turkish fan.
We’re pretty sure Vitality will take that side of the bracket at this point. Their fire power is just insane.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, NAVI meets paiN. That sounds like a corny one-liner.
Much like the first game, it’s clear NAVI is the favourite. They’re obviously the better team, and unlike the Vitality EF dynamic, NAVI has beaten paiN in their last four matchups. But to their credit, paiN beat FaZe in the last round, and you would’ve said something similar about that game. If they want to recreate that result, they’ll need another banging performance from dav1deuS. We rate him, but we’re not confident.
We’d love to see paiN win, though. It’d be great for them to take all the VRS they can get. The money certainly doesn’t hurt, either.
What are the odds that the winner of Bounty will come from one of these games? Vitality is looking pretty good…
We’ll see you back here for a recap of tomorrow’s Semis and the Grand Final that takes place on Sunday.
