After having shaken off the cobwebs they not only had ample time to see their family and friends but also they found themselves ready to kill each other in the server for the amusement and enjoyment of the fans from around the world. The Professional Counter-Strike has returned after a considerable amount of break that saw the various rosters switching around, with teams leaked and falling apart, and the benches being added to the maps that the universe had almost biased cried out against. BLAST Premiere begins today in a 17 day battle against top Counter-strike teams.
Starting off with the BLAST premier Spring Series 2020 in London which is hosted by Semmler and Duncan Shields, the 12 impressive Counter-Strike teams are now ready to move ahead head to head for the $300000 prize pool.
Post the long break of these teams, the fans can now be a bit privy of some of the best Counter-Strike possible, with significantly no excuses as happened in case of the infamous EG claim of jet-lag.
There will be three groups that will all be slugging it out, A through C, and moreover, each group will have four teams within it.
The Group A ahs FaZe, Liquid, MIBR, and NiP, where all of them are battling with each other to come out on the top. Liquid looks relatively shaky in their most current appearances, and it surely has to have much difficulty against FaZe that once again appears to be back on the upwards climb.
FaZe starts off the tournament against NiP at 1030 EST on January 31, followed by Liquid going against MIBR in the afternoon at 1430 EST.
Group A is scheduled to be broadcasted all around the weekend as they try to figure out who amongst them will be able to rise to challenge the other groups available, along with the game play being scheduled to be broadcasted from BLAST’S Twitch channel from 1000 until 1800 on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
On the other hand, Group B will have an interesting dynamic as there will be a rivalry between the two players who are widely considered as the best Counter-Strike players in the world. It features the titans, Astralis, Complexity, Natus Vincere, and Vitality, with which the group scuffle is expected to end with Astralis easily rising to the top.
NaVi player S1mple has reportedly switched from rifle to sniper within the roster, and moreover, he will be going head to head against ZywOo, for the French Team Vitality, who is considered to be one of the world’s best.
Although both of them still haven’t faced off each other in their roles, the social media is already buzzing about the rivalry that could happen between two of the famous names in Professional Counter-Strike. Astralis may be the one to take the group, but all of the matches will be worth watching in order to see the two snipers duel n a high-stake tournament.
Coming to Group C, it may be very well considered to be the wildcard group which features 100 Thieves, Evil Geniuses, G2, and OG. The Evil Geniuses have managed to recapture the magic that saw them catapulting towards the top three teams during the Krieg meta. The team that would ultimately come out on the top of this group is still being wondered upon, but 100 Thieves is the one who could very well throw a haymaker in the group and finally end up on the top, once the dust settles.
Apart from all these, the time for theory crafting and considering what is plausible and possible has already passed. Now it’s the time to bring all pieces together once again, and BLAST Premier is all set to bring the top Counter-Strike to 2020 which is surely going to be an outstanding production.
