The Portuguese squad prevailed in the Iberian qualifier after tough matches against OFFSET and Movistar Riders.

SAW have booked a spot in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown, joining the likes of Astralis, Gambit, and Liquid, with a 2-1 victory over Movistar Riders in the grand final of the LVP Unity Spring Cup, a qualifier for teams based in the Iberian Peninsula.

One of the two teams invited to the tournament, SAW reached the grand final after dispatching Case and FTW in the group stage, and then edging past Ricardo "⁠fox⁠" Pacheco's OFFSET in a three-map thriller that culminated in an overtime game on the decider map.

JUST powered SAW to victory with a great performance on Vertigo

SAW were leading 14-9 on Inferno when Movistar Riders came alive and managed to force overtime. The international team looked set to win the map, but Omar "⁠arki⁠" Chakkor saved SAW from the jaws of defeat with a 1v2 clutch. With momentum behind them, the Portuguese side came out victorious in the second overtime, with Renato "⁠stadodo⁠" Gonçalves finishing the game with 45 kills to his name.

Movistar Riders hit back on Inferno - where team captain Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes posted a 1.40 rating - after another overtime affair, but a reverse sweep proved to be beyond them as SAW ran out comfortable winners on Vertigo in a game that they controlled from the start and that was decorated by an imperious display from Tiago "⁠JUST⁠" Moura (1.99 rating, 125 ADR).
