Counter Strike BLAST Premier World Final 2023: FaZe versus Vitality

The BLAST Premier World Final 2023 is about to begin in Abu Dhabi, with the playoffs completed. The anticipation is building as we approach the climactic moments of the final Tier 1 CS2 tournament for 2023. After two electrifying matchups in the semi-finals that were a real adrenaline shot and left us wanting more, featuring FaZe versus MOUZ and Vitality squaring off against NAVI, we can’t wait for the Grand Final to know who the best Counter Strike team in the world really is!

FAZE VS MOUZ

Counter Strike FaZe

The spotlight is on FaZe, who, in their match versus MOUZ, found a matchup with Lore. There is some bad blood between the two squads, and while it may be only business, the "frozen connection" made this a personal vendetta for MOUZ. FaZe recently acquired frozen from MOUZ, letting go of Twistzz in the process. As a result of this move, frozen's four-year contract with MOUZ came to an end, and he now proved that sometimes the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence.

Throughout the CS:GO era, MOUZ and FaZe have locked horns multiple times. Previous encounters include clashes at the Thunderpick World Championship and the CS Asia Championships 2023, with FaZe emerging victorious each time. For MOUZ, this match could have been an opportunity for redemption, while for FaZe, it was all about keeping their dominance.

In previous matchups, Mirage, Nuke, Overpass, Vertigo, and Ancient have featured prominently. As the dust settled, FaZe proved that they are still the big dogs of Counter Strike, and frozen got a boost straight from MOUZ into the Premier World Final.

VITALITY VS NAVI

In contrast, the Vitality versus NAVI bout was already expected to lean heavily in Vitality's favor. Having secured a victory in the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 a few weeks ago, Vitality entered the Semi-Finals with confidence, building on what has already been a stellar year for the team. They've previously triumphed over NAVI in the tournament opener, showcasing their dominance.

Counter Strike Vitality

A standout performer for Vitality has been mezii, proving his worth after an initial period of scrutiny. His exceptional contributions in Abu Dhabi position him as a potential tournament MVP alongside the formidable ZywOo if Vitality can get the title.

In a recent face-off between these two teams, the map pool featured Anubis, Overpass, and Nuke. However, NAVI's impressive victory over G2 on Inferno might influence their map choices this time. This was a critical swim or sink moment for NAVI, and they were counting on iM, particularly after his impact against G2, to be the key to toppling Vitality.

Alas, when titans clash, one will fall, and Vitality proved once again that they are the kings, taking the victory and boosting their trophy case with an extra shelf!

FaZe versus Vitality, who will win? Can FaZe maintain their winning streak and take down the unstoppable champion, Vitality?
