BLAST Premier Spring groups revealed

The first stage of the showpiece competition will begin next week.

BLAST has revealed how the 12 partner teams have been split into the three groups that are part of the first stage of its Premier Spring season, which will kick off on February 4.

The top two teams of each double-elimination group will advance to the BLAST Premier Spring Finals, scheduled for June 15-20, while the bottom two sides will have to go through the Showdown stage (April 13-18), in which they will be joined by ten other teams, determined through qualifiers and invites.

The group stage will have six spots at the Spring Finals on offer

BLAST Premier Global Final champions Natus Vincere have been placed in Group C alongside the new MIBR squad, Liquid and FaZe. This raises the prospect of a clash between Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken and his former team amidst reports that the Canadian could be on his way to FaZe.

Group A is the only one featuring three top-10 teams as it includes Astralis (No.1), BIG (No.4) and OG (No.7) in addition to Ninjas in Pyjamas (No.18).

Vitality and G2 - two teams who haven't faced each other since June - headline Group B, which also includes Evil Geniuses and Complexity, whose starting lineup for the tournament is still unknown as Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev continues to recover from surgery.

Below you can find the groups:

Considering it was against a roster with 1 week of practice: well they won, but they didn't look amazing and the match could've gone either way. Also you are hedging bets on a team that might be the most inconsistent top 5 team ever, outside of maybe the old VP. NAVI are a good team, and should top the group, but they could just as easily crash out of it.

True. old VP didn't have this much firepower and definitely not the world's best (2nd best) player in their team :) -- but yeah, I get your point. Na`Vi are similar to them in kind a way.. True but on paper, this is the easiest group they can have..
