BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021: Recap
We’ve had Fall Groups and Fall Showdown, and now the final tournament between now and the BLAST Premier World Final is officially in the books.
NAVI added to their already impressive 2021 with a win at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021. NAVI sent Vitality to the lower bracket finals before facing them again in the Grand Final, where they actually dropped Nuke, the first time in over 20 matches played on the map.
However, with the deciding match coming down to Inferno, s1mple and NAVI circled the wagons to pull off yet another championship run.
While they dominated the competition, it was still one last chance for other teams to earn crucial points and make it to the World Final LAN in December. Those teams were Vitality, Team Liquid, and Astralis.
