The troubles for the Team Liquid CS2 team continue. Just a few days after failing to qualify for the Major, they suffered a heavy loss in the BLAST Spring Finals battle.
Team Liquid's failure at NA RMR came as a shock and a big surprise to their fans, and losing to SAW at BLAST Showdown will only add to the disappointment of their favorites. A lot was expected from the new lineup of Team Liquid, even to fight for the top 5 in the world, but instead they don't even manage to reach the big tournaments, let alone achieve a more notable performance in them.
After Complexity ruled against them at the Major qualifiers, their executioner tonight was the Portuguese team SAW, who after a good game at EU RMR continues with very solid games.
SAW took a 13-10 lead with their Nuke pick, and they were close to going 2-0 when they saved five map points on Inferno and won overtime, where Liquid managed to take a 16-14 victory and level the score. .
That was also about all we saw from them in this match, as we only saw one team on Ancient, and that was SAW taking the first half 10-2, putting up a really great defense against a very weak opponent. In the continuation, they routinely bring the map to an end and with a 13-4 victory, they take the triumph and pass to the next round of qualifications.
Mareks "YEKINDAR" Galinskis was again the tragic of his team with only 32 frags on three maps and a 0.76 rating, and during the match Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken was visibly disappointed, who was obviously not used to such results in FaZe Clan.
In the next round, SAW will be waiting for Cloud9, who defeated Rare Atom yesterday.
