Inferno
Although Astralis went on to win the first four rounds on Inferno off the back of Staehr's quad kill on the pistol round, Virtus.pro swiftly reacted on the CT-side as soon as they could afford rifles. From the fifth round onwards, Jame's side dominated Astralis and won eight in a row.
There wasn't much Astralis could have done to salvage the match as Virtus.pro also ran away with their T-side pistol, but just when they started getting some rounds, FL1T decided Inferno for Virtus.pro. The Russian cracked the B bombsite open with his hero AK-47 buy and even killed dev1ce when the bomb was already planted to make Virtus.pro win by 13-8.
FL1T was also the best player on Virtus.pro's side as he grabbed 18 frags and finished with an amazing 1.50 rating.
Dust 2
The first half of Dust 2 was pretty much the same with what happened on Inferno. Astralis got a strong 4-0 lead on the CT-side, but Virtus.pro once again displayed some outstanding form to win eight in a row again thanks to a series of perfect executions.
However, Astralis bought themselves a lifeline thanks to a pistol round victory to kick off their T-side. The Danes had the upper hand and seemingly were looking favorites to win the game, when all of sudden, Virtus.pro woke up on the CT-side and Jame started to grab important frags with his AWP.
Jame particularly shined in the penultimate round as he shut down Astralis' B split with a triple kill and then Virtus.pro didn't miss the opportunity and closed the game 13-10 on their first map point. ElectroNic was the best player on Dust 2 and that reflected in his K/D (19/10). This, in fact, might have been Virtus.pro's best performance since they signed electroNic in April.
As for Astralis, this defeat to Virtus.pro at the BLAST Premier Spring Final meant the end of their four-event streak of making the semifinals.
