Here we are. After 57 different BLAST qualifiers, we’ve reached the main event.

The BLAST Premier World Final kicks off this Wednesday.

EU crew, get ready to mess up your sleep schedule - the tournament will take place in Singapore. It’ll be worth it though, as the team lineup is absolutely stacked.

Group A’s opening round features NAVI taking on Astralis, and FaZe going up against their academy squad, also known as MOUZ.

Honestly, this group is shaping up to be a walk in the park for NAVI. Don’t quote us on that. As for FaZe, what better way to scout your future IGL than by playing against him?

Over in Group B, we’ve got G2 facing Liquid while Vitality take on Spirit.

jks will be squaring off against his former team, so we wouldn’t be surprised if he drops 50.

Meanwhile, JACKZ makes a return to the competitive stage as Vitality’s stand-in, since king mezzi has become a dad. Congratulations to the Royal Family. Despite the change, we’re not feeling too optimistic about Spirit’s chances, as they’ve been looking shaky, to say the least.

On a separate note, BLAST has banned “noise makers” from the venue - no drums, bullhorns, flags, or banners. Where’s the fun in that?

The last S-tier tournament before the RMRs should be an interesting one, giving us a glimpse into each team’s form. Definitely worth a watch.
