We know, we know, you just want to skip ahead to IEM Cologne and watch the first LAN of the last 1½ year, but we have to go through the motions first.
The first step on the way to Cologne, is BLAST Premier Spring FInals, where 8 teams are going head to head for $225,000 and a spot at BLAST Premier World Finals. Not as fancy as a LAN, but pretty decent still.
The teams are what makes this very interesting though. Gambit, NaVi and G2 roll up as the favourites, BIG are there to... well, we don't know, and then there are the underdogs: Complexity, NiP, EG and FaZe.
Nope it's not just you, it IS a weird make up of teams, but also kind of... refreshing. We're actually looking forward to see Complexity play again, check if EG can continue improving and find out who the hell FaZe are going to use instead of coldzera.
aizyesque is in shambles however, because MSL is on vacation the coming 10 days, so it won't be him. Unless.
Upper bracket round 1 matchups
Oh and fair play to BLAST for not spending two weeks on this. 5 days of action and we'll know which Gambit player will be MVP for the winning team. Yes, we called it.
