BLAST Fall Showdown 2021: Recap

Heroic and Team Liquid managed to qualify for the Fall Final.

Heroic absolutely flew through the Fall Showdown, not dropping a single map during their matches against Dignitas or OG, easily securing a Finals spot.

Liquid also had mostly smooth sailing, except for a Semi Final match against Virtus.Pro that could have gone either way at one point during the final map. The NA team would survive though, and make short work of MAD Lions in Final B to take the remaining qualifying spot.
