Counter-Strike documentary "Ready Up" released by BLAST

The 41-minute piece follows the journeys of several iconic players through the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021.

Counter-Strike documentary 'Ready Up' was just released by BLAST, a video that chronicles the journeys of Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen, Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller, and Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz as they make their way through the BLAST Premier Fall Finals.

The documentary opens by focusing on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on CS:GO, and the rest serves as a celebration of the return to LAN play.

Throughout the piece players, casters and analysts give their insight on the importance of LAN competition to the scene, and the three main stars give their personal reflections on their performances at the Fall Final.

BLAST Premier Fall Final was one of the last events of 2021, taking place in the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark. It featured a robust double elimination best-of-three format and hefty $425,000 prize pool. The event sported five of the top ten teams at the time, including the indomitable Natus Vincere who would go on to take home the trophy.

The documentary was made by a vast team at BLAST led by executive producers Nicolas Estrup, Tom Greene, and Alexander Lewin and producers Alison Severs-Ruiz, Matthew Truelove, and Tom Newman.
