Finally, some good f****ing foo- erm, Counter-Strike.

We’re just a week away from BLAST Fall Finals and ESL Challenger Jönköping, with groups being drawn and talent being announced - and man, we’ve missed Counter-Strike.

Yes, yes, there’s PARI Please and other random online tournaments named after betting companies going on. Yes, we could have been waking up at 4AM to watch a few hours of IEM Sydney or CS Asia Championships, and sleepwalking through life for a week.

There’s nothing quite like a LAN tournament with some of the best in the world at a time we can watch, though.

BLAST Premier Fall Finals kicks off on Wednesday with FaZe vs NIP, Cloud9 vs NAVI (which is a mouthwatering prospect), Vitality vs the ghost of Heroic and Complexity vs Astralis to end it all.

That runs until Sunday, overlapping with the three-day event in Sweden. Jönköping welcomes Monte, Virtus.pro, GamerLegion, Eternal Fire, MIBR, TYLOO, Looking4Org and Nouns in the type of event that screams routine VP victory.

Back at BLAST, we’re probably also looking at a routine victory for FaZe if the last few events are anything to go off. They’ve been ridiculously dominant, and we’re praying for a Cloud9 level up or Vitality throwback just to try and match them.

Whatever happens next week, we’re just excited to watch Counter-Strike, live, on LAN, without being half asleep.

Don’t let us down, lads.
