The six-team playoff bracket is now set after two days of group stage play at the final CS:GO event of the year, the BLAST Premier World Final<\/a>. <\/p>\n

FaZe Clan and OG both triumphed their winners’ matches against Team Liquid and Team Vitality, which will see them go straight through to the semi-finals on Saturday.<\/p>\n

As FaZe Clan and OG prepare for their semi-final series, Outsiders and Heroic will be trying to wrap their heads around what went wrong in Abu Dhabi, as the world number one and two were the first two teams eliminated from the World Final. <\/p>\n

The IEM Rio Major<\/a> champions, Outsiders, were embarrassed by G2 Esports in their series, losing their map pick (Mirage) 16-1, sending the Russian organisation home in quick time.<\/p>\n

Later in the day we saw the BLAST Premier Fall Final<\/a> champions, Heroic, clash with Natus Vincere. <\/p>\n

In what was a very competitive three-map series, Valeriy \u201cb1t\u201d Vakhovskiy and Oleksandr \u201cs1mple\u201d Kostyliev stood up in the clutch moments on Inferno (Map 1) and Nuke (Map 3), helping NaVi win those maps and take the series 2-1. <\/p>\n

Heroic entered the BLAST Premier World Final as the third favourite with esports betting sites<\/a>; however, with the decision to rest their best-rated player, Martin \u201cstavn\u201d Lund, and have Kristian \u201ck0nfig\u201d Wienecke stand-in, the world’s top-ranked team was never going to be at its very best in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

The quarter-final bracket is now set, with the first match seeing Liquid clash with NaVi and the second featuring Vitality and G2. <\/p>\n

FaZe Clan will await the winner of Team Vitality vs G2 Esports, and OG will play the winner of Team Liquid vs Natus Vincere.<\/p>\n
