BLAST Premier Spring 2020 Europe Showdown

BLAST Premier Spring Showdown groups drawn

25-5-2020 17:46

Teams from Europe and the Americas competing in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown have been drawn into groups ahead of the tournament's start on Sunday May 31.

The groups for the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown have been announced by the tournament organizer, with competing teams split into two groups of five in Europe and two groups of four in North America.

mousesports are looking to bounce back in BLAST

Only one team per group will be eliminated before the playoffs, which will be played out using a single-elimination bracket, with a BO1 round-robin format used in the group stage.

In Europe, the two highest-ranked teams that were not invited to the BLAST circuit — fnatic and MOUZ — have been placed in group B, and will be hoping for better results than they posted recently in ESL One: Road to Rio and DreamHack Masters Spring. Meanwhile, Astralis will be in group A, alongside Vitality and Ninjas in Pyjamas.

BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Europe groups:

Group A

Group B

Dignitas
Unknown flag CIS CIS Cup winner

FURIA and MIBR will once again butt heads in a spicy Brazilian matchup as they were drawn into group A in the Americas division, while Evil Geniuses and 100 Thieves are looking like favorites to top group B.

2020-05-25 20:45

2020-05-26 04:31

Let's show what we can do. #sAwtouadar

2020-05-25 17:51

Very little probably. But gl =)

2020-05-25 18:54

Yeah, because DIG are going to do a lot too omegalul Not even in that shitty group

2020-05-25 20:58

group B would be easier but fuck it, we can win against ence at least

6 replies

nah

they have maybe like 5% chances of winning, at least isnt 0% like against others teams

I think ence may yet surprise you. And I do not mean negatively.

2020-05-25 18:25

lest see, best of luck ;)

Bo1 my friend

2020-05-25 20:57

Uhm..

Bruh momento. #sAwTouADar Also let's go Furia and MIBR!!

2020-05-25 17:54

Guys like to put Brazilians in the same group :(

Yeah.. They should do it like in the UEFA Champions League, and separate teams from the same country on the group stage.

2020-05-25 18:02

yeah..

2020-05-25 18:10

you cant use that here, doesn't make sense in my opinion, its not that a like to have mibr and furia in the same group, but its the draw.

2020-05-25 18:21

draw seems kinda dodgy because MIBR, Furia and Chaos are always in the same group

2020-05-26 09:36

Same old same old Vita, ence, nip, astralis. So borring

2020-05-25 22:07

Bro I swear these NA groups are always the same. I'm getting tired of seeing 100T vs EG

But on the otherhand a Win for us i think 100T can actually top this group

It will be either 100T or C9 EG sucks

2020-05-25 20:06

Free win for astralis

EZ4SAW #sAwtouadar

Very easy group for Dignitas

Yeah ezzz #DIGWIN

EU Group A Vitality eliminated Group B mousesports/Virtus.Pro(if they win CIS Cup) eliminated. NA Group A Gen.G eliminated Group B EG/100T/C9 eliminated

2020-05-25 17:56

30 replies

correct

Group A NA is Chaos or Mibr actually

17 replies

Chaos for sure not. MIBR inconsistent so could happen, but I think Gen.G are worse than them.

2020-05-25 18:01

what??? gen.g > all of them

No, they are really bad.

ye and they won RtR

i dont know if you watch NA recently but gen.g is the only team that can beat furia while furia keeps destroying liquid and mibr in every match gen.g and furia >> mibr and chaos

2020-05-25 21:52

Gen.G had one good result and ppl already say they are good. No they are not.

2020-05-25 23:30

One good result?? Won Anaheim with 0 map lost even tho its their first tournament and won RtR. Yeah oNe GoOd ResUlT.

2020-05-26 06:29

Anaheim T3 event.

2020-05-26 11:38

Listen to us, my friend. NA is our main region. Gen.G is strong. At least currently.

2020-05-26 16:47

Currently they lack structure, time together and a bit firepower to join TOP Tier. They are not strong currently.

2020-05-26 17:01

Ok bro.

2020-05-26 17:04

well well well

2020-06-02 16:20

well well well.

2020-06-02 16:55

"Chaos for sure not" KEKW

2020-06-04 23:16

Unlucky, they should have won vs MIBR.

2020-06-04 23:48

0 wons kekw

2020-06-05 04:40

As I said, unlucky they should have won vs MIBR.

2020-06-05 11:38

ye and Saw > vitality xD

10 replies

sAw is inconsistent, but when they play at their best they are really good, while Vitality looks really bad atm.

-saw is inconsistent LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

2020-05-25 19:49

They are. They can lose to AVEZ 16-6 and then win vs Movistar Riders 3-0. They are inconsistent.

2020-05-25 19:51

They lost 16-6 against AVEZ, because they tried to play with the vetos to make AVEZ ban mirage for them, but they didnt, mirage is the worst worst map of saw.

2020-05-26 13:17

They're playing well, and are very well positioned on most of tournaments they're in. But what the international community sees is what it shows on HLTV, and that Blast Rising tournament went terrible for them, so its understandable. Lets see how they play on HomeSweetHome 6

2020-05-26 15:36

4th at the last tournament = really bad gg

2020-05-25 21:30

4th, but their results : 1-2 NiP 2-1 Complexity 0-2 Astralis 2-0 Dignitas 2-1 fnatic 0-2 ENCE 2-0 Heretics 2-0 GODSENT 2-1 NiP 1-2 G2 They were lucky that they got this 4th place.

sure

2020-05-25 23:50

2020-05-25 21:15

2020-05-25 18:12

EZ4MOUZ

Gl saw

why tf is ence always in the same group with vitality

And nip

2020-05-25 18:35

#sawtouadar

Group A way more stacked LUL

2020-05-25 18:19

What a very hard group, its gonna be very hard matches but i belieber #sAwtouadar

2020-05-25 18:20

HOWWWWWWWWWW Ence's group in EPL:Astralis Vitality Nip Ence group in RtR: Astralis Vitality Nip Ence group in DH: Vitality NIP Ence group in Blast: Astralis Nip Vitality

2020-05-25 18:27

Ikr I was about to say the same for nip

The question is: is it still group draw? For me no.

2020-05-25 19:37

fuckin cant be :D

2020-05-25 19:50

tenor.com/view/whoa-deja-vu-matrix-glitc..

2020-05-26 15:40

Niiiice ez group for astralis

How shit is group B? Mouse are absolute dogshit rn so are fnatic

2020-05-25 18:36

EZ 4 MY BOIZ CIS Cup winner

FURIA, MIBR AND CHAOS in the same group again ... rip lol, atleast 2nd place for MIBR

2020-05-25 18:38

Wtf every single time MIBR and FURIA are on the same group

2020-05-25 18:41

Lets go!

2020-05-25 18:43

Online CS especially in NA is getting so boring watching the same teams play each other. You already know Furia will top their group. And even when 100T play good against EG they’ll find a way to still not finish 1st. International LAN’s can’t come soon enough I just want NA teams to verse EU so we get different games

2020-05-25 18:45

but maybe that's why they always face each other, because of server and teams location, maybe they privilege a better connection than new interesting duels..

2020-05-26 15:43

Let's go 100T! Let's get them better results here!

2020-05-25 18:49

Group B is so terrible holy moly. All the decent 4 teams from group A would probably place #1 in group B

2020-05-25 18:58

Why do mibr and furia always end up in the same group? R i g g e d

2020-05-25 19:02

EZ 4 sAw KEKW 1st place is ours

2020-05-25 19:03

name checks out

mark my words

2020-05-25 20:02

Let's be honest here, 2nd place, first is complicated

2020-05-26 15:55

Well I mean we only really need to beat Astralis on the playoffs so yeah 2nd is fine

2020-05-26 16:33

Astralis just lost Xyp9x, First Place is ours! Fresh meat is back on the menu boys!

2020-05-27 18:57

Expected they don't want to lose to sAw so they are exchanging players KEKW

2020-05-27 19:36

group A EU looks very interesting

2020-05-25 19:06

#sAwtouadar

2020-05-25 19:07

ez4sAw

2020-05-25 19:14

You sAw first here. sAw will only lose one game in this group. Have a nice day, isAwherefirst

2020-05-25 19:19

saw vs astralis, as a rapist myself I am lookin forward to this match

yeah same, lets just hope that astralis run away before getting raped

2020-05-26 10:47

I hope Astralis can recover from this.

2020-05-26 17:07

Group A on NA was made just to get so much spectators from Brazil Literally 150k on almost each brazilian game easy MIBR X FURIA - Brazilian rivalry (maybe 200k?) MIBR X Chaos - provocations at the last match MIBR X GenG - GenG never won against MIBR FURIA X GenG - FURIA never won against GenG FURIA X Chaos - not so relevant GenG X Chaos - not so relevant

2020-05-25 19:25

Nice

2020-05-25 19:30

MIBR VS FURIA ALL THE TIME, FUCK THAT

blast's gotta secure those viewers, no matchup in groups is gonna give them as many viewers as furia vs mibr, no way it's just coincidence all the time...

2020-05-25 20:03

Yeah that's for sure... but is unprofessional I think

2020-05-25 20:05

lol why there is always vitality, ence, astralis and nip in same group

2020-05-25 19:46

Vit ence nip 4/4 astralis 3/4 same groups

2020-05-25 20:41

boring .. always the same matchups

2020-05-25 20:00

I'm getting tired of it being the same match-ups over and over. There should only be two big leagues (One fall One spring) with like 20 teams where you meet each other twice and then 2 majors and maybe Katowice and Cologne as invitationals. The leagues should have qualification Up and down like regular football leagues and determine like 8 direct spot to the majors.
