BetBoom Team and Tundra Esports completed 2-0 sweeps on Saturday to advance to the grand final of the BLAST Slam I in Copenhagen, Denmark.
After prevailing in 52 minutes on red, BetBoom Team earned a 59-minute victory on green to successfully blank PARIVISION.
Tundra Esports had an easier time with Xtreme Gaming, as they needed just 31 minutes for both of their wins — one on green, one on red.
The 10 teams in the $1 million Dota 2 event were divided into two groups for the opening round-robin phase of single-map matches.
The top team in each group (BetBoom Team and Tundra Esports) earned berths in the playoff semifinals. The second-place teams (Team Liquid and Xtreme Gaming) qualified directly into the quarterfinals. The third-place teams (PARIVISION and Gaimin Gladiators) secured Round 2 places in the playoffs, and the fourth- and fifth-place teams started the playoffs in Round 1.
All playoff matches are best-of-three except for the best-of-five grand final on Sunday. The winning team will receive $400,000, and the runner-up will earn $200,000.
