The groups for CS:GO Blast Premier Spring Groups are as follows:
Group A
- Heroic
- Team Vitality
- Astralis
- Evil Geniuses
Group B
- FaZe Clan
- Team Liquid
- OG
- Complexity
Group C
- G2
- Natus Vincere
- Ninjas in Pyjamas
- BIG Clan
While FaZe and NAVI will be trying to emulate their 2022 peaks, Blast World Final 2022 winners, G2 esports, will be looking to continue their good form in 2023. Virtus.Pro, who recently swapped out a player from their Major winning squad, won’t be making an appearance. Fans will have to wait a little longer to see the new lineup in action.
A lot of eyes will be on this tournament as Dev1ce makes an official comeback on Astralis. Nearly a year after his last tier 1 appearance on NIP, the Danish sniper is ready to prove he’s still got what it takes to be at the top. Team Liquid, who made it to a few playoffs after a 2022 roster rebuild look primed to make a deep run as well.
With a tournament as stacked as this, CS:GO fans have a great first tournament of the year on their hands. Every game will be streamed live on the Blast Premier Twitch and YouTube channels.
