Team Spirit sweep Vitality to qualify for BLAST Premier World Final 2024 playoffs

As a longtime CS:GO enthusiast who has witnessed countless matches and team dynamics, I can’t help but feel a twinge of concern for Vitality. The team’s reliance on ZywOo’s firepower is undeniable, and it seems that, in this tournament, even his prowess isn’t enough to secure victories.


It’s always hard for Vitality when only ZwyOo is the one consistently getting frags.

On October 30, during the initial day of the BLAST Premier World Final playoffs, Team Spirit advanced after defeating Vitality with a score of 2-0.

Tomorrow, October 31st, Spirit will face off against G2 in a match that determines which team advances straight to the semifinals. The current BLAST Premier World Final champions, Vitality, are close to being knocked out from this tournament.

In light of the fact that they will be playing without their usual anchor, William “mezii” Meriman, who is being replaced by Audric “JACKZ” Jug for this tournament, Vitality is facing a challenging match-up. They must overcome Liquid tomorrow to prevent an early exit from the competition.

Here are the lineups, map veto, and recap for Vitality vs Spirit at BLAST Premier World Final 2024 in Singapore.

Vitality vs Spirit: Map veto and recap

  • Spirit removed Inferno
  • Vitality removed Ancient
  • Spirit picked Anubis
  • Vitality picked Mirage
  • Spirit removed Vertigo
  • Vitality removed Nuke
  • Dust 2 was left as the decider

Anubis recap (Spirit 13-9 Vitality)

In the initial half of the game, Team Vitality performed admirably on the attacking side (T-side), which is known to be more potent on the map Anubis. Remarkably, JACKZ led the pack for them. Consequently, the team consisting of French and Israeli players emerged victorious with a score of 7-5.

Initially, when Spirit moved to the T-side, they delivered an outstanding display of skill. Vitality attempted to stem the flow with intense play, but Spirit was well-prepared for such tactics in most rounds. This was evident on the scoreboard as Spirit yielded just two rounds to Vitality, ultimately securing a convincing 13-9 victory.

Despite Donk scoring an ace during the initial phase, it was Sh1ro who racked up the most kills throughout the match, leading the scoreboard with a total of 21.

Mirage recap (Spirit 13-11 Vitality)

In their encounter with Mirage, Vitality showed greater determination compared to their game on Anubis. However, apart from ZywOo, most team members found it tough to rack up kills. The French AWPer (ZywOo) managed an impressive 22 kills, only one shy of donk’s tally, but this wasn’t enough to take the match into overtime or secure a victory for Vitality.

As a gamer, I gotta give credit where it’s due to the Vitality players. It ain’t easy when donk’s in the zone and feeling the game. The kid was all over midfield, finding space time and again for his team. Surprisingly, the peak moment of the match wasn’t from donk but from apEX. Let’s face it, there aren’t many things more satisfying than a one-deag fadeaway, and that’s exactly what apEX delivered!

Despite the stunning one-on-one play, it wasn’t enough to stop Spirit from clinching the game during regular time. They managed to secure strong post-plant positions on the B bombsite and successfully fought off a three-versus-four situation in their favor.
