Most of the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024<\/a> matches on the first day of play went as many Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) fans would expect, except for one. Thanks to a tight match that could have gone either way, Team Vitality fans were kept on the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n

In Group A, Team Vitality (ranked 4th globally) faced GamerLegion (ranked 28th) in what was supposed to be a rather easy win for Dan “apEX” Madesclaire’s squad. GamerLegion, however, had other ideas.<\/p>\n

GamerLegion came out of the gate swinging on their map pick of Anubis, beating Team Vitality 13-10. On Vitality’s map pick of Mirage, things also didn’t go as planned, with GamerLegion forcing Team Vitality into an overtime situation as they attempted to avoid the 2-0.<\/p>\n

While Vitality fought for their lives, it was Israeli lurker, Lotan “Spinx” Giladi, who made the difference and topped the leaderboard, as you can see via the image above.<\/p>\n

In the end, it was The Chosen One, aka Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, who finished off proceedings on Mirage in the 38th round on the B site defense to beat GamerLegion in overtime and push it to a third and final map.<\/p>\n
