BLAST Premier Spring groups revealed

28-1-2021 14:18

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:

i never asked about the rematch, but if you must know it was two maps which saw liquid pick up almost double the rounds navi picked up the first time around

OK. But the question remains.. Did they win the second time around, when it mattered the most? No? right? so stop talking..

u are so salty lol it is almost humiliating

2021-01-28 14:47

How am I salty kid? Please explain.

2021-01-28 15:43

How is he salty? xDDD

2021-01-28 16:12

Did navi win the first time?

Who cares about pre-games when semifinal > finals, consolidations is the only games that actually matters? Xd

2021-01-28 16:13

It's 1-1 tho?

2021-01-28 17:57

Navi won where it mattered, I'd value that over liquids win, but yes, liquid also won.

2021-01-28 18:50

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.

2021-01-28 16:18

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..

2021-01-28 21:59

2021-01-28 15:19

Relax, boombl4 will be back to normal mediocre level next match.

2021-01-30 23:08

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe this is the beginning of something special? I'd like to believe that it is. #NAVINATION #DAVINAVI

2021-01-30 23:20

They did beat liquid the 2nd time And navi is soo much better

"navi wont top their group" delusional

2021-01-28 14:38

They are peaking now, but one thing which Navi is not known for is consistency. It's impossible to guess where they are in a few months.

2021-01-30 23:22

liquid ssly bro

2021-01-28 15:26

G2 nt mens((

2021-01-28 17:09

G2 with choko and LOLQUID will be last in groups

2021-01-28 18:00

Navi group so ez

Washed up and bots in Na`Vi's group. Should be 32-0 x3

That is ambitious... I like 😎

2021-01-28 15:27

#DreamOG

damn, good groups

Blast Major when ?

never

why

2021-01-29 11:40

nice

Easy group for Na`Vi <3

i cry for faze

asdsadsdadas

Disbalance Group 1 is a joke

And then Astralis lose to Big...

RIP Faze

NiP with their newest logo is kind of a joke there and MIBR isn't fully deserved in my opinion.

We had way too few Vita-G2 in 2019-2020, happy we'll see it maybe twice here

+1 always up for not so French derby anymore

2021-01-28 14:36

fr bruh g2 was just playing against astralis furia n navi :(

2021-01-29 03:22

Why isn't Fnatic, Mousesports or Furia in BLAST events?

2021-01-28 14:21

They aren't partner teams. Their only chance is to go through the Showdown stage.

Thank you for answering my dude. Do you know if the teams dont want to be partner with BLAST or if the BLAST corp haven't asked them?

2021-01-28 20:24

MIBR LUL

no heroic :/

ez group for nav1 and s1mple

2021-01-28 14:27

u mean L1quid and El1GE

2021-01-28 18:18

Ez navi Lets go This is your time now

Looking forward to this!

Never liked BLAST Tournaments, now I'm sure

Blastralis do everything for them to win. Just missed putting the MIBR in place of big to make it easier for them.

2021-01-28 14:25

group b > group a > group c In terms of quality games and tough opponents.

2021-01-28 17:22

2021-01-28 17:00

Finally a Vitality-G2 match

navi liquid have easiest time of their lives right here

2021-01-28 18:19

FalleN vs Mibr and twistzz vs Liquid promissing

Astralis gets the easiest group/win

Nah big can definately beat them and OG can still put up a challenge but just has a much lower chance of winning the series

2021-01-28 14:41

group c is more easier.

2021-01-28 17:23

nah group C is an ez win. the only thing not certain is whether liquid or navi top their group, but it is certain that navi and liquid are both top 2 in their group

2021-01-28 18:20

NaVi Warmup for Katowice

still online ?

Twistzz vs Liquid kappa

2021-01-28 14:31

2021-01-28 14:42

EZY Clap group for NaVi hope Global Final was not another fluke

2021-01-28 14:37

Can someone tell how can be navi fans so toxic and dumb , and also why cant they understand the game ?

2021-01-28 14:39

its just few of them who always spam some delusional shit

2021-01-28 14:51

I mean alot of them are kids spamming but in reality aswell this should be easy group for navi if not they should disband

2021-01-28 17:25

OG vs BIG is always a fun matchup, will be hard to place first though

No more og vs eg....

Group B: G2 Vitality Group C:Navi Liquid Group A:Astralis(%100) Big but I think OG has a change)

2021-01-28 14:43

This is the 1st LAN??

2021-01-28 14:44

3 brazilians in only one group, serious ??????????????

the groups are super fair in all of them its balanced, one top team in each with astralis, navi and vitality abd then its ranked skillwise

Why does Complexity always have to vs Vitality? every time lmfao

A: Astralis, BIG B: G2, EG C: Navi, Liquid

2021-01-28 16:36

lmao remove NAVI, Astralis, Vitality = tier2 event

2021-01-28 14:52

Maybe cuz it’s not meant to be a top event? Groups x2 - Showdown x2 - Season Finals x2 - Global Final

2021-01-28 15:55

Rn every event with astralis vitality and navi attending in it is considered as a top tier , but they won't play against each other tho

2021-01-28 19:33

Furia?

2021-01-28 14:53

EZ4 NAVI,Astralis,Vitality

2021-01-28 14:55

group A is snooze. I hope to see EG do some work in Group B

group a: ez for astralis, maybe big with some chances group b: most competetive group. group c: navi vs Liquid

ez group for navi <3

2021-01-28 15:22

Twistzz vs EliGE

Group A loocking hard

2021-01-28 15:34

2021-01-28 15:40

Yeah liquid vs g2 would be nuts KennyS King Vs FalleN God

2021-01-28 16:00

Valve, this is serious? Three Teams with brazilians in the same group? lol

2021-01-28 15:47

Valve ? BLAST is valve project ?

2021-01-28 18:02

I think we'll see vitality Navi final this time around and vitality will win the final 3-1

2021-01-28 15:54

This is a group format event, with 2 best teams from each group going directly to seasonal blast finals, and 2 worst teams to blast showdown

2021-01-28 15:57
