BLAST Premier World Final 2024 is almost here.
We have eight of the best teams in the world heading to Singapore for the event, and each one will be determined to give everything they have in order to leave with the lion's share of the massive $1,000,000 prize pool.
If they wish to do that though, they'll first have to get past the group stage, so let's take a look at the two groups and the opening matches, which will be played on October 30th.
Fresh off the back of winning yet another trophy at IEM Rio 2024, NAVI will be the headline team in Group A. Defeated finalists at both BLAST Premier Spring Final and Fall Final 2024, can they finally get their hands on a BLAST Premier trophy in Singapore?
They'll first have to get past Astralis, the Danes will be keen to cause a huge upset after a slow start to life with their new IGL, cadiaN.
Rounding out Group A is FaZe and MOUZ, two of the best teams in the world who will also be looking to rain on NAVI's parade after taking some big losses against them this year.
When Group B commences we'll see the reigning champions, Vitality, step onto the battlefield. They have a very tough opponent in their first game as they take on Spirit, a task that will be made even harder by the absence of mezii.
Spirit themselves have already won a BLAST event this year, they'll be determined to make it a second so they can head into the Perfect World Shanghai Major with their confidence high.
Also in Group B we have G2 and Liquid. G2 have enjoyed high highs and suffered low lows recently, we expect them to bring their A game against a strong Liquid side that looks like they could add a trophy to their cabinet at any given tournament.
With the event being in Singapore you can expect some early starts if you want to watch all the action, but worry not, that just means you'll have plenty of time for pugging once they day's action is done.
We've got some blockbuster matches on day one, including a showdown between two of the most successful teams in 2024, Spirit and Vitality.
The matches will be played on a rolling schedule, however, the third match of the day can't start more than 30 minutes before it's scheduled start time. Other than that, there will be 15 minutes between each map and 15 minutes between each series.
BLAST Premier World Final 2024 is set to kick off on October 30th 2024. The final event in the BLAST Premier calendar, it's set to be a barnstormer, so make sure you're right here on BLAST.tv to not miss a single second of the action.
