BLAST Open Spring 2025 is the second BLAST CS2 event of 2025. The event will bring 16 of the best CS2 teams together from March 19th to 30th, competing for their share of a $400,000 cash prize.

After BLAST Bounty Season 1 kicked off 2025 with a rather wacky and novel format, BLAST Open Spring 2025 brings us into more familiar territory. We have two double-elimation Groups, which competitive Counter-Strike fans have become accustomed to over the last few years, then a single-elimination Playoffs bracket. Simple!
BLAST Open Spring 2025’s format is as follows:
Group Stage (March 19th – 24th)
Playoffs (March 28th – 30th)
Because BLAST has been one of the most prominent CS2 tournament organizers over the last few years, top teams have accepted their invites in droves to attend BLAST Open Spring 2025. You can find the full list of teams and their respective Groups below:

If we’re pre-emptively picking a winner of BLAST Open Spring 2025, it’s impossible to look beyond Team Vitality right now. They stand alone in their level of quality, with the inconsistencies of their rivals laid bare in recent times. Coming hot off the heels of winning ESL Pro League Season 21, Team Vitality will be ready to make a splash in Lisbon.
For an interesting underdog, look no further than Astralis. Their 3rd-place performance at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 is the organization’s best result in years, and offered something to build from. Whether they can capture some momentum and take advantage remains to be seen.
