Spirit, Vitality, and NAVI all reside on the same side of the bracket.

Six of the seven best teams in the world will depart BLAST's studios in Denmark for Lisbon, Portugal after the end of the 16-team Open tournament's group stage.

G2 outclassed The MongolZ in the Group B lower bracket final to prevent the bracket from being a clean-sweep of the top-six, bouncing back from an upper bracket loss to Eternal Fire to seal the final berth to the MEO Arena.

Garidmagnai "⁠bLitz⁠" Byambasuren's side will lament missing out on a chance to gain more experience in front of a crowd after the G2 defeat and squandering multiple map points to Natus Vincere on Saturday.

Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen's men reached playoffs with that victory but couldn't seal a direct berth to the semi-final after losing to Eternal Fire for the first time. That result sets up a brutal top end of the bracket with Natus Vincere taking on Spirit in the quarter-finals, with the winner facing Vitality for a spot in the best-of-five grand final.

It'll be the fourth time this year that Spirit and Natus Vincere go head-to-head after they met twice at IEM Katowice and once at BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals, with Spirit losing to Aleksib's side for only the second time in eight matches at the former event before getting revenge in the playoffs.

G2 and MOUZ will go head to head on the other side of the bracket in a rematch of their ESL Pro League Season 21 quarter-final bout, where Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin's side edged out victory in three maps after denying G2 a comeback on the Ancient decider.
