The first match was 1win vs. Aurora, and the crowd on site was not that big. Maybe there will be more people tomorrow since it’s the weekend.Tonight it’s Team Liquid vs. Complexity, and fans are expecting a bloodbath.

BLAST Premier Rivals Hong Kong Trophy

The trophy is packed with Chinese-style elements, with cloud motifs, dragons, and other designs engraved across it. The gleaming gold trophy looks great. The BLAST metal trophy that previously injured PR weighed 14 kilograms, and this one is most likely solid metal as well, so whoever lifts it will need to be careful.

After the match, flameZ had a bit of a social-anxiety moment. During the handshake line, he interacted with the other side and shared a cheek-to-cheek greeting with m0NESY right in front of NiKo, who scratched his head in apparent awkwardness.

NiKo: I need to find an excuse to pinch him.

1win prepared a mystery gift for their die-hard fans

A fan on HLTV has been supporting 1win the whole time, and the players were really touched. After making the playoffs, they put together a team jersey signed by the entire roster and gave it to that fan.

GuardiaN beats up Valorant players?

They couldn’t close it out, and they even lost this round. Just look at him—GuardiaN was so tilted his face turned green. And no, that’s not an effect! He really did look green.

I don't know why.

Prior to this, nota shared a horrifying account of being hospitalized after being poisoned. It had nothing to do with Spirit, though it may have left him traumatized. “They tied me down and injected me with something. I slept for an entire day. I was taken to the hospital. When I woke up and stood up, I guess they saw me as a threat—as if I were crazy—because I wanted to undo the restraints to go to the bathroom. Then they forcibly tied up both my hands and feet. I said a lot of things to them. I don’t know—maybe the situation had triggered me, or maybe I was under the effects of sedatives. I just kept talking. Then this crazy nurse came over and started choking me with a pillow, telling me not to talk to anyone. After that, they injected me with something again, and I slept for a whole day. I remember waking up and someone brought me breakfast, but I realized I couldn’t eat because my lips were cracked and my mouth was inflamed.” He later got in touch with his manager, who got him out of that facility.
