BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023 – BIG annihilate 9INE to qualify for semifinals

The BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023 is in full swing, and in this region of the world, we enjoyed two great matches on the first day. One of these matches was between BIG and 9INE, which gave us a clash of titans full of emotions from start to finish.

However, on this occasion, the German team was in charge of taking a convincing 2-0 victory to seal their qualification to the semifinals of the tournament. On the other hand, it is also fair to point out that the level of play of 9INE’s Poles has not been the same as in the first half of the season, where they gave a great show of power and, above all, good performance.

Both teams left everything in this series. As a result, let’s look at what happened in the match between 9INE and BIG in the quarterfinals of the BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023.

BIG crush 9INE 2-0

The first match of this day’s BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023 was between BIG and 9INE, two teams that have played very well throughout the season. However, BIG showed some great form and managed a crushing 2-0 victory to eliminate the Polish squad from the tournament.

The series was held at Ancient and Vertigo.

Ancient

It all started in Ancient BIG’s map pick, where the Germans more than proved from the first moment of the series that they were on a spectacular level of play.

In the first half, BIG managed to take a solid 11-4 victory on their T Side, thanks to the offensive performance of Karim “Krimbo” Moussa. Krimbo, with 102.2 ADR and a 1.67 Rating, completely carried BIG in this first half.

Then, at the change of sides, 9INE tried to do something to wake up. However, BIG’s defense was impenetrable, and after 7 rounds (2-5), the Germans sealed the resounding 16-6 victory.

First blood to @BIGCLANgg who take Ancient!

Vertigo

Next, the teams moved to Vertigo, 9INE’s map pick, where we had a slightly more balanced match. However, BIG, as in the first map, prevailed to take a comfortable victory and seal their ticket to the semifinals.

We enjoyed a fairer match in the first half, as BIG could take the win by 9-6. In addition, we saw a great battle between Kacper “Kylar” Walukiewicz (9INE) and Krimbo.

However, at the change of sides, the scales tipped again in favor of the German squad, as they displayed a spectacular offense. Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz and Krimbo led BIG to an emphatic 16-10 victory to seal the clean sweep and qualification to the tournament’s semifinals.
