G2 vs FaZe on day one: Fall Final 2024 opening matches

BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 is almost here and just like in years past, it's set to be a banger.

We have eight of the best teams in the world heading to Copenhagen for the event, only one of which will leave the Danish capital as champion.

We're set to kick off proceedings on September 25th, so how about we take a look at the groups and the opening matches?

Group A

We'll start off day one with Group A, a group that consists of NAVI, Falcons, G2, and FaZe.

NAVI were the defeated finalists earlier this year at Spring Final in London, and their loss in the final of IEM Cologne has their number one spot in doubt - can they reassert themselves and claim another trophy in the Forum?

To do so, they'll first have to get past Falcons, and the Snappi-led team has looked better than ever recently after battling hard in Germany.

It won't only be Falcons in their path, G2 and FaZe will also be looking to get one over on the Major champions. They'll first have to face each other though, in what is set to be the biggest game of all the opening matches.

Group B

After the conclusion of Group A's first games, Group B will begin. The group contains Vitality, Astralis, Spirit, and Liquid.

Of course, after their win at IEM Cologne, all eyes will be on Vitality. Their year may have been disappointing up until that point, but they're now firmly back in everyone's minds as a truly dangerous team.

Their first opponents, Astralis, have already beaten them this year, but the home favourites will need to recover from a dip in form if they are to do so again.

Spirit will be the biggest threat to Vitality's resurgence, disappointment in Cologne will have the Spring Final winners determined to make it two from two at BLAST events in 2024.

That said, they'll first have to get past a Liquid side that has announced itself as a contender following Twistzz becoming an IGL and the break out performances of their new AWPer, ultimate.
