Following in the wake of a turbulent major, CS:GO is back with the Blast Premier Fall Final. Eight teams will go head-to-head in the penultimate tournament of the year for a slice of the $425,000 prize pool. Additionally, the last few spots of the Blast World Final in Abu Dhabi will be decided here. While FaZe Clan looked renewed after an early major exit, G2 stumbled out the gate. On the other hand, NAVI and Team Liquid put up dominant performances to win their opening games.
