They might not have confirmed their spot at BLAST Premier Fall Final, but with their win at IEM Cologne, BLAST Premier World Final 2022 winners G2 have now qualified for BLAST Premier World Final 2023.
Although IEM Cologne does not grant a direct placing at World Final 2023, G2 have qualified thanks to their high points total, points they have amassed due to winning both IEM Cologne and IEM Katowice.
Joining them in Abu Dhabi in December will be the winners of the BLAST.tv Paris Major, Vitality, winners of ESL Pro League Season 17, FaZe, and winners of BLAST Premier Spring Final, Heroic.
The final spots will be awarded to the winners of BLAST Premier Fall Final and ESL Pro League Season 18. And two spots to the highest-placed teams on the BLAST Global Leaderboard who haven't yet qualified.
BLAST Premier World Final 2023 is the culmination of the tier-one Counter-Strike calendar. Set to take place in Abu Dhabi from December 13th-17th, eight of the world's best teams will duke it out for a chance at the lion's share of $1,000,000.
Before that, though, G2 will first have to turn their attention to the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown. A disappointing showing at BLAST Premier Fall Groups means they will need to survive that gauntlet to play at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen during Fall Final.
