To open the program of the 1/4 finals of BLAST Rising 2021 will be a confrontation between LDLC and Copenhagen Flames. Who will be the first semi-finalist?
LDLC
The French team continues to confirm the status of one of the favorites of the tournament, without having a single defeat yet. First, LDLC coped in the group stage with UMX (2-0) and EC Brugge (2-1), and then successfully overcame the first round of the playoffs, knocking out GORILLAZ (2-1) from the championship. Curiously, in the extreme match, the teams took each other's peak, and then there was an equal game on Stage 2, in which all 30 main rounds were played. The French won 8-7 on each side and went on to win the trophy.
Copenhagen Flames
The Danes liked the 2-1 score, which was observed in three matches with their participation from four. The group stage "Lights" passed with two wins and one loss, and in the 1/8 finals showed that they can beat not only the Nexus team at the reporting event, which was twice defeated in the group stage and made it through to the playoffs. The Danish team suffered from the "Lights" in the first round of elimination Tricked, who lost 11-16 on Inferno, then took Dast 2 (16-14), which he himself peaked, but on the desider, which was Nyuk, did not survive - "Copenhagen" won on the attack side with a result of 11:4, and then lost in defense, but managed to get the necessary five rounds - 5:7.
Forecast
The French look preferable, showing character and will to win at the right time. The Danes don't have that. If they start to "fly", they do it quickly and with a whistle.
