CSGO BLAST Premier Spring Gauntlet Schedule and Format.

The CSGO BLAST Premier Spring Gauntlet inaugurates tomorrow. Here is everything you need to know about the Spring Gauntlet.

The BLAST Premier Spring Groups marks the commencement of the 2022 pro season. But, what ensued in the Bo1 matches, was short of remarkable.

Supposed weaker teams demolished the Goliaths of a team. Consequently, the top 1 team of 2021, NaVi finished bottom of their group.

And the year has only begun. Also, with the gaming industry undergoing massive changes in dynamics and principles, we have much to look forward to.

Currently, the BLAST Premier invited 12 teams. The proceedings in the Groups was only to decide seeding/ranks. Therefore, the real matches start tomorrow.

Teams who finished in higher seeds play fewer matches. G2 Esports, OG and out of the blue, FaZe Clan, topped their respective Groups. As a result, predictions went down the drain.
