The BLAST Premier matches between Berlin International Gaming and OG have concluded. The matchup between the two teams was played in a best of three series.
Inferno was the first map of the series. OG tried something very risky in round three, as they split the team into two groups Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt led two of his teammates into B, while Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen went into A site. NBK- got two quick kills by jumping from the apartment balcony whilst doing a 180 flick. On the other side, Aleksib got a kill and OG was able to take the round.
In round four, Nils "k1to" Gruhne from BIG killed four people while OG pushed into the site, which allowed BIG to take their first round on the map. The match was very close in terms of score, and it seemed like OG was about to win it. But then BIG made some aggressive plays and won the first map with a 16-12 scoreline.
The second and final map of the series was Dust2. OG started out really strong on the second map, winning five rounds without dropping a single round. However, after that BIG started winning rounds and equalized everything. Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz made an insane play on round 27 where he managed to flank OG from A site into B and got a double kill. This caught OG off-guard and BIG won the round.
After reaching the 13-13 scoreline, OG lost motivation and BIG was able to win the game with a 16-13 scoreline. Florian "syrsoN" Rische carried BIG with 47 kills in this matchup.
