On Astralis' map pick of Inferno, things went pear-shaped, and some might even call it a bit of esports karma.
Team Vitality just completely dominated the CT side, and smash Astralis to bits on their own map pick, with a 12-0 in the first half.
As teams switched sides, the 13-0 was looming large, and Team Vitality didn't show any mercy. Taking their time to execute and plant the bomb, Team Vitality secured the pistol round in the second half.
That means that Team Vitality humiliated Astralis with a 13-0 score, something that really doesn't happen often, especially in S-Tier CS2 events. Both FlameZ and ZywoO were on top form, but don't take my word for it, just check out this 4k from The Chosen One below.
Wow, just wow...if the opening day of BLAST Fall Final 2024 is anything to go by, this is going to be one incredible event!
