Six spots for BLAST Fall Final are up for grabs as Counter-Strike returns to Copenhagen.

From July 29-August 4, 16 teams will come together in Copenhagen, Denmark to take part in BLAST Premier Fall Groups, where six Fall Final berths wil be up for grabs.

This will be the community's first chance to see several big-name teams for the first time since significant off-season rebuilds. Liquid will sport Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage and Roland "⁠ultimate⁠" Tomkowiak for the first time, Cloud9's completely revamped lineup will debut, and BIG will take their first steps with Rigon "⁠rigoN⁠" Gashi among their number.

Participating teams and format

There are two stages for BLAST Premier Fall Groups: the Group Stage and the Play-in Stage.

The 16 teams will be split into four double-elimination groups. The four winners will advance to the BLAST Fall Final. The runners-up in each group will head to the Play-in Stage for a single BO3 for a spot in the Fall Final.
