The two top-15 squads will look to secure their participation at the BLAST Premier Spring Final in June.

BLAST has revealed the four teams who have received invites to both the European and Americas versions of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown.

The two online competitions will play out from March 29-April 2 and each offer just one berth to the BLAST Premier Spring Final, which is scheduled to take place on LAN in Washington, D.C., from June 7-11.

fnatic will aim to qualify for the BLAST Spring Final through the Showdown

fnatic are the sole team to receive an invite to the European bracket, and now join the likes of OG and BIG for a chance at making it stateside.

Three more spots are yet to be filled for the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Europe. Two teams will come through the RES Western European Masters Spring 2023 and RES Eastern European Masters Spring 2023 qualifiers, which run from March 3-5, while the Pelaajat Nordic Masters Spring 2023 competition, scheduled for March 17-19, will award just one berth.

The current team list for the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Europe is:

The Americas Showdown opted to dish out invites to three Brazilian squads. FURIA, MIBR, and paiN all confirmed their participation in the eight-team brawl, where they will go up against teams such as Liquid and Complexity in a bid to qualify for the BLAST Spring Final in the United States capital.

The BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Americas now has one lone spot up for grabs, which will be filled by the winner of the Ace North American Masters Spring 2023 on March 9-12.

2023-03-02 13:20

oh shit they are, thats fucked

2023-03-02 14:12

i mean c9 was really shit for a while only now this tournament they started doing good again.

3 replies

true, but i personally couldnt rate fnatic higher considering their best result this year was a 2-1 vs outsiders and the rest are wins over t2 teams

2023-03-02 14:14

never said they were better, but when u go 0-2 in the only tournament you played this year you are bound to lose out on points

2023-03-02 14:50

fair fair

2023-03-03 06:51

Yeah, it makes no sense to invite the higher ranked team, we should go by what team HLTV user inshallah thinks is better!

2023-03-02 14:08

Got slapped on the ass by the community and finally turned their brains on regarding their handicapped qualification system, still miles to go to be competent but that's a good start

2023-03-02 12:00

Again 2 wasted spots like wtf...

2023-03-02 13:18

Actually PAIN and especially MIBR > coL and EG everytime!

2023-03-02 13:46

you're absolutely right. they should have invited the two greatest teams from Latvia, unfortly the invites would go 404.

2023-03-02 13:14

Broky and Yekindar could win the wingman major tbh

Look at your population, and u still have one good team so go sit down

2023-03-02 15:29

Well it hard to find good teams for NA, so most invites will be wasted.

at least c9 can qualify to this qualifer through another qualifer, which wasnt the case for 2022's clown events

2023-03-02 12:19

rare atom in europe? huh?

what a odd

2023-03-02 13:00

Blast really hates C9 huh

2023-03-02 13:21

Why? The text says it was only one invite for the EU spring blast. And Fnatic is a higher ranked team so it makes perfect sense.

Nice fantic

2023-03-02 13:24

i also want c9 instead of botnatic but they are ranked better

2023-03-02 15:04

i dont car, i just want either to qualify sh1ro will be top 1 without blast partner anyway

2023-03-02 15:09

To me, this looks like blast struggling to organize the regional qualifiers because of major this spring. But I won't complain because this is better than the regional qualifiers.

2023-03-02 13:27

8 teams tournament with 6 spots given to partners and people still thinks it's a tier 1 event, Blast tournaments are just worth to farm top 20 of the year points

2023-03-02 14:22

Bullshit. I love BLAST events and production but they need to increase their partners or redesign their events. It’s almost impossible for non-partnered teams to play BLAST events other than the Showdowns.
