London to host BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024

19-10-2023 12:01

Counter-Strike will return to the OVO Arena Wembley after five years next June.

The FACEIT Major was held at OVO Arena Wembley in 2018

The BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024 will take place from June 12-16, 2024 in London, United Kingdom, the organizers have announced.

The eight-team $425,000 tournament will be held in OVO Arena Wembley, a 12,000-seater venue that played host to the Champions Stage of the FACEIT Major in 2018.

Tickets to watch the tournament live will be available on Live Nation for the final three days of the competition (Friday-Sunday). A presale for BLAST.tv subscribers begins on Wednesday, October 25, followed by the Live Nation presale on Thursday, October 26 and general sale on Friday, October 27.

Barring any changes to BLAST's format for 2024, six of the eight competing teams will qualify for the London event via the partner-only Spring Groups and the other two through the Showdown.

Niceeeee :D definitely going to this!

Is Central really that bad lol, I've been there many times (I have family who live there) and I thought it was alright compared to other parts of North London

It's not THAT bad compared to the likes of South and South East but imagine the culture shock of some Europeans coming from their posh countries and then visiting Central which is 5mins away from the Stadium

Imagine talking about the safety of the city you live in saying it s not that bad lol. You would expect smth like this from a random african country not from what used to be the biggest empire.

You'll be entirely fine. Dodgy places in London are places you'd have to be dim to walk down because it's blatantly obvious like any other Euro city.

London is a lost cause, the city is too far down the multicultural & left wing path that anything short of a fascist government wouldn't be able to change it. I consider it an independent work & tourism country at this point. Rest of England (which is not as severe) as a whole has consistently voted in right wing governments that pledge to control the border and yet do nothing. Not sure what else you can do other than riots.
