1w Team Are Doing Well
1w Team have been holding on well this event. They kicked off BLAST SLAM VIII with a 2-1 win against Natus Vincere, then lost against the reigning The International champions, Team Spirit, and bounced back with a very convincing 2-0 sweep of Team Nemesis in the Group B decider.
Evidently, 1w are not among the main title contenders at BLAST SLAM, but this roster have been showing good things. Since coming together, 1w have played just one event – PGL Wallachia Season 9, where 1w Team placed seventh-eighth, crashing out of the playoffs in the first round.
But they’ve looked better since, mainly Pure, who has been posting solid performances and will be 1w’s main tool for the upcoming game.

|---|---|---|---|
| October 2 | BLAST SLAM VIII | Team Nemesis | 2-0 (W) |
| September 30 | BLAST SLAM VIII | Team Spirit | 0-2 (L) |
| September 29 | BLAST SLAM VIII | Natus Vincere | 2-1 (W) |

OG Are in Good Shape
OG have exceeded many people’s expectations at BLAST SLAM VIII by making it through the group stage. They kicked off the tournament with a rough 1-2 loss against BetBoom Team in the first round of Group C, where OG beat themselves with some questionable plays in key moments.
They followed that up with a convincing 2-0 sweep of MOUZ, and a revenge 2-1 win against BetBoom Team in the decider match.
It is fair to say that OG have been doing well, but their ceiling does not appear to be that high. OG’s true test begins on Saturday.

|---|---|---|---|
| October 2 | BLAST SLAM VIII | BetBoom Team | 2-1 (W) |
| October 1 | BLAST SLAM VIII | MOUZ | 2-0 (W) |

Verdict
Both teams have done enough to qualify for the Last Chance Stage, and while they’ve both shown good things, it is hard to go against 1w Team here.
1w have dealt with stronger teams in the group stage, have a roster that’s been playing together for longer and Pure, who can single-handedly carry them to victory.
