The ENCE team beat Heroic with a score of 2:1 and became the first grand finalist of BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe. Here the European team will meet the winner of the match Astralis - Ninjas in Pajamas.

The first semi-final of the championship started on the Ancient map, which, as expected, became the choice of ENCE. But if the first half was held in an equal fight, then after the change of sides, the "owners" quickly took the initiative, thus canceling out all the attempts of the Danish team to get involved. As a result, ENCE scored a confident victory at its own peak and took the lead in the series — 16:9.

Next, the teams moved to the Overpass map, which turned out to be the choice of Heroic. Here ENCE continued to stick to its line, finishing the half on defense with a twofold advantage. However, after the change of sides, the Danes managed to return to the game, and after that they snatched the victory from the opponent's hands - 16:13.

Everything was decided on the Mirage map, where the intrigue died during the first half. And the reason for this was the confident play by ENCE in defense, thanks to which the team closed the side with a score of 13:2. After the side switch, sAw's wards didn't delay, quickly closing the series in their favor to advance to the grand final of BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe — 16:5.
