The Counter-Strike 2 competitive landscape is currently approaching its final stage, with the upcoming BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 tournament marking a significant event in the season. While traditionally serving as a conclusion to previous CS:GO seasons, BLAST had to reschedule this event to accommodate the Shanghai Major scheduled for late 2024.
This adjustment to the schedule not only increases interest in the tournament but also presents an advantage for participating teams, allowing them to use the event as part of their preparations for RMRs in their respective regions.
Here are more details about the BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 tournament.
BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 – Details
The BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 is an annual 100% LAN tournament that usually takes place at the end of the season. Scheduled to take place from October 30 to November 3, 2024, it will feature eight qualified teams competing for the champion’s trophy and the majority share of the substantial $1,000,000 cumulative prize pool.
The 2024 edition of this tournament will be held in Sentosa, Singapore, and will feature several elite teams. They are divided into the following groups:
| Group A | Group B |
| Astralis | G2 Esports |
| FaZe Clan | Team Liquid |
| MOUZ | Team Spirit |
| NaVi | Team Vitality |
The eight teams are divided into two groups of 4 each. Group A appears to have NaVi as the leader, given their significant success since the start of the CS2 scene in September 2023. In contrast, Group B is expected to be closer, with Team Vitality likely to lead the charge for victory.
With the common goal of securing a spot in the playoffs, spectators can anticipate fierce competition throughout the event.
