The qualifier for a qualifier of a qualifier is finally over.

BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024 has wrapped, and we’ve got the team line-up for the Fall Final and Fall Showdown. Honestly, the BLAST format is a headache, we’re glad it’s getting an overhaul in 2025.

Anyway, it seems Liquid are (finally) good again. Shocker, we know. Remember back in 874 B.C. when they were the #1 team in the world? Yeah well, they might not be there yet, but they’re certainly on the right track. On their undefeated path to the Fall Final they faced Virtus.pro and NAVI, beating the Major Champions twice.

NA is so back. Even when it comes to classic NA antics. CS is healing.

On the flip side, FaZe are looking rough. They managed to scrape by with a dub against revamped Cloud9 in their first series, but couldn’t close it out against G2 and NiP.

Yes, you read that right. FaZe lost 2-0 to NiP. Now that’s something you don’t see very often.

We’re not gonna lie: we had our doubts about G2’s offseason moves. But boy, were we wrong. They tore through the opposition to qualify for the Fall Final, with m0NESY leading the charge, as always.

Turns out, to succeed in CS, you don’t need a deep playbook or a 200 IQ IGL – just an ungodly amount of firepower. Who would’ve thought?

Spirit and Vitality walked a similar path, also sweeping their respective groups with ease. In short: donk donked and ZywOo ZywOoed (though with a bit less flair than usual). Top-tier insights you won’t find elsewhere.
