All you need to know about the upcoming BLAST Premier Spring Showdown regional qualifiers.

BLAST Premier’s Regional Qualifiers get underway this week, starting with the 5E Arena Asia Cup which gets underway today.

Over the next three weeks, six regional qualifiers will reveal the final participants at the Spring Showdown 2024, giving teams a last chance to qualify for London’s highly anticipated Spring Final at the OVO Arena Wembley in June (12th-16th).

The Spring Showdown Qualifiers offer a chance for teams across the Counter-Strike ecosystem with a chance to qualify for the Spring Showdown and compete against some of the best teams in the world.

Each regional qualifier will be hosted by one of BLAST’s regional partners (GGTV, Liga Ace, Relog & RTP), spanning four continents and opening up to more than 120 countries.

The BLAST Premier Regional Qualifier regions and dates are as follows:

• 5E Arena Asia Cup: 31st Jan - 2nd Feb
• Ace North American Masters: 1st Feb - 4th Feb
• Ace South American Masters: 1st Feb - 4th Feb
• RES Western European Masters: 9th Feb - 11th Feb
• RES Eastern European Masters: 16th Feb - 18th Feb
• RTP Arena Cup 2024: 1st Feb - 4th Feb

One team from each regional qualifier will gain a spot at the Spring Showdown, playing against the 10 teams who were unsuccessful at this month’s Spring Groups. This includes BIG, Cloud9, Complexity, Falcons, GamerLegion, Heroic, Team Liquid, NIP, OG and Team Spirit.

The Spring Showdown will run from the 6th-10th March, with the new revised format and $135,000 on the line. The previous region split Showdowns have been combined for 2024, creating one combined Showdown with a 16 team single elimination knockout. The top two teams at the Showdown will take home $20,000 and book the last two spots at Spring Final in London.
