The BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 Groups are set to get underway, with eight teams split into two groups of four in Copenhagen’s Royal Arena. With a $425,000 prize pool and a spot in the BLAST Premier World Final 2023 up for grabs, there’s plenty to get excited about.

We’re taking a look at Group A and B, to see who’s going to make it out of these competitive BLAST groups.

BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 Group A

[column size=”1/2″ last=”false”]

Group A of the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 is a mixed bag. Considering the FaZe CS2 winning streak, the opening match against NIP should be easy work. However, Cloud9 vs NAVI is a huge clash. With w0nderful replacing s1mple on the NAVI side, and Cloud9 now featuring 3/5 of the 2021 Major-winning NAVI lineup, it’s a game that should prove extremely competitive.

Group A:

• FaZe
• Ninjas in Pyjamas
• Cloud9
• NAVI

FaZe should move out of the BLAST groups top of the table. The other three teams can’t hold a candle to them right now, regardless of who ends up in the Upper Bracket Final. We expect NIP to be the team leaving the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 early, with Cloud9 and NAVI moving through to the Quarter-Finals.

BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 Group B

[column size=”1/2″ last=”false”]

The BLAST groups get real spicy with Group B. Vitality vs Heroic is a great opener, with cadiaN back one last time leading a makeshift roster for the Danes. Complexity vs Astralis is a tough match to call, too. While Complexity have started CS2 well, it remains to be seen if it’s a flash in the pan or a true long-term improvement. Astralis have shown how high their ceiling can be on their day, even if it’s not as often as needed.

Group B:

• Vitality
• Heroic
• Complexity
• Astralis

The real story of Group B is the potential of a Heroic vs Astralis clash. Astralis were right at the center of the Heroic CS2 roster drama, which caused shockwaves throughout the Danish Counter-Strike community. It was a controversy that left Heroic without a few of its key players, and now, the two teams could face off against each other if they both win or lose their openers. Considering the opposition, it’s a very real possibility. Imagine it – cadiaN’s Heroic needing to beat Astralis one last time to secure their Playoffs place in the BLAST groups. That’s real drama in Denmark.
