CS:GO Blast Premier Fall Showdown Day 1 results: Sharks eliminate Complexity with surprise win

Day two of the CS:GO Blast Premier Fall Showdown is here and three teams have been eliminated from the tournament so far.

Perhaps the biggest shock exit was Complexity who dropped their best of three series to Sharks. The Brazilian squad was an underdog in the upcoming bout, considering Complexity’s recent form. After a decent RMR and nearly qualifying for the major, Complexity looked primed to take the series. However, Sharks clean-swept the series 2-0, sending Complexity home. With this Complexity is now out of contention for the Blast Fall Final.

On the EU side of things, two teams have been eliminated from the tournament. Asian squad, Tyloo, faced a difficult matchup against an in-form Team Vitality on day one. Unfortunately for them, Magisk and Zywoo had strong performances that propelled Vitality to a 2-0 win. The final casualty of the day was Eternal Fire who lost their match against Astralis. The battle was a close affair with Astralis barely triumphing in overtime on the final map of Nuke. Read on for a detailed breakdown of day one, upcoming matches, and the schedule.
