aliStair's 117 ADR T-side on Dust2 goes in vain

Eruption eliminate SemperFi

Eruption book BLAST Rising Asia semi-final

SemperFi and Eruption clashed in the opening game at BLAST Rising Asia Season 2 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Eruption booked their slot through the Mongolian qualifier and SemperFi were called in to replace Lynn Vision after the Chinese side declined their invite. The bo3 quarter-final started on SemperFi's pick Inferno. With shadiy and Valiance finding early impact, SemperFi got off to a 5-1 start on the T-side.

One good retake set the Mongolian side on course correct, as Eruption clawed back crucial rounds towards the end to salvage a 5-7 half. Off of the momentum, Eruption secured pistol, anti-eco and bonus wins to start the second half but once the gun rounds began, back and forth trades pushed the map into overtime. Dropping a single round each on both sides, Eruption closed Inferno 16-14 in overtime, going 1-0 up in the series.

The second map took us to Dust2 where Eruption had a field day on the T-side. MagnumZ led the charge, putting up a 1.74 rating T-side showing, propelling Eruption to a big 9-3 lead. SemperFi flipped the narrative in the second half, breaking through Eruption's defense with ease. With aliStair coming alive on the T-side, things looked shaky for Eruption but the Mongolian side recovered just in time to deny the comeback and close Dust2 13-10 to wrap the series and advance to the semi-final, elimination SemperFi from BLAST Rising Asia Season 2 in the quarter-final.
