The BLAST Premier ‘22 World Final is in the books, and with it, also the amazing CS:GO season 2022, which was packed with thrill, excitement, and unforgettable moments created by the finest Counter-Strike there is.
After chasing the trophy for so long, the star roster led by hooXi finally unleashed their potential to show us their true power and wrap up the year in a grand fashion, taking home the World Final trophy and ending their drought of silverware.
The electrifying Grand Final between Team Liquid and G2 Esports kicked off on G2’s map pick Inferno with an incredible 1v3 clutch served by huNter. After a short exchange of rounds, huNter’s kinsman NiKo followed up with another amazing clutch of his own, and at this point, it was clear that G2 came here to secure the coveted trophy. With a substantial 11:4 lead after the dominant first half on T-side, it didn’t take a lot of effort for hooXi’s squad to close the map 16:7.
Although Liquid expectedly stepped up their game on the following Mirage, not even their strong track record on this map was enough to withstand G2’s newly found synergy. The first half went down in a similar fashion to the previous map, with G2 gaining a 9:6 lead despite the tremendous efforts of EliGE.
At a serious disadvantage, nitr0’s team did not crumble under the G2 pressure and went on to threaten their opponents with another map as they managed to equalize the score 11:11. However, despite Liquid's best efforts at a comeback led by NAF, EliGE, and nitr0, G2 retook control of the situation and would allow Liquid only one more round before m0NESY wrapped up the series 16:12 and thereby ended G2’s three-year-long title drought.
With the trophy finally in G2’s hands, another huge win followed for the team’s talented AWPer m0NESY, who, thanks to his phenomenal performance throughout the whole event, became the youngest player in CS:GO history to earn the exclusive MVP medal at a top-tier event.
Congratulations to m0NESY for winning the MVP award and to the whole team G2 Esports for becoming the 2022 BLAST Premier World Champions!
