Astralis Reverse Sweeps Falcons Despite Monstrous Magisk | BLAST Fall Groups

As a long-time CS:GO fan with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the lower bracket final match between Astralis and Team Falcons at BLAST Fall Groups 2024 was nothing short of exhilarating! The reverse sweep was a testament to the unpredictable nature of esports, and it served as a reminder that even the underdogs can pull off miraculous victories.


As a dedicated CS2 enthusiast, I found myself on the edge of my seat during the lower bracket final match in Group B at BLAST Fall Groups 2024, where Astralis and Team Falcons squared off. Witnessing yet another thrilling reverse sweep was a testament to the unpredictable yet exhilarating world of esports!

On the initial map of Dust2 (where the Falcons had their pick), it was a nail-bitingly tight contest that needed extra time to decide the victor. During overtime, Team Falcons managed to take the lead and ultimately emerged victorious with a score of 16-13.

In the second round, labeled ‘Ancient’, Astralis chose the map and dominated it significantly (13-1 score), taking 11 rounds in the first half as Terrorists. Later, on the final map of Nuke, Astralis took the lead in the initial half as CTs and closed out the game with a 13-9 victory. This triumph over Team Falcons was a reverse sweep for them, sending their opponents home.

Despite Team Falcons getting stomped on, however, it was Danish legend and four-time Major winner (three with Astralis, mind you!) Emil “Magisk” Reif put up an absolutely monstrous performance. Watch how Magisk opened the series with four Glock kills.

Magisk then pulled off a 2v1 clutch in the next round of play in a post-plant situation on A site.

In the second pistol round on Dust2, Magisk even pulled off an ace on the B site defense on Dust2.

Absolutely, Magisk’s exceptional play on Dust2 probably prevented Astralis from winning the match 2-0 comfortably.

In the final match of Group B, Astralis will take on a hot Team Vitality. The victor will secure a place at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024, while the defeated team gets another chance in the Play-In round.
