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.

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.
