BLAST Premier Spring Final viewer's guide
HLTV.org presents a detailed viewer's guide for the upcoming $425,000 tournament in Portugal, set to begin on Wednesday.
This year's BLAST Premier Spring Final will be held at the Altice Arena in Lisbon from June 15-19. The tournament will feature eight teams that have qualified through BLAST Spring events, including the likes of FaZe, ENCE, and Natus Vincere.
The participating teams will be separated into two groups of four, where they will take part in a shortened GSL format. The groups' first-placed teams will earn a direct semi-final berth, while the second and third-seeded teams will battle it out in the quarter-finals.

The teams include BLAST Spring Groups winners FaZe, OG, and Vitality, as well as runner-ups Natus Vincere, BIG, and G2. Rounding out the list are BLAST Spring Showdown EU winners ENCE, who have also shown their worth at various recent tournaments, climbing to the second spot in the world rankings, and BLAST Spring Showdown NA champions, paiN.
It's worth noting that Natus Vincere will be playing with Viktor "sdy" Orudzhev following former in-game leader Kirill "Boombl4" Mikhailov's departure from the Russian-Ukrainian squad. For German side BIG, there is still uncertainty as to whether or not Karim "Krimbo" Moussa will be able to fly to Portugal with his squad, having recently tested positive for COVID-19, which also had him sit out a part of the Pinnacle Cup Championship.

Listed are the two groups for the BLAST Spring Final:
