Everything to Know About the BLAST Global Finals

The BLAST Premier Global Finals is a $1 million event set to kick off on January 19th. The final showcases eight teams, who will be competing for their slice of the $1 million prize pool. We’ll be giving you information about the teams participating and of course the schedule.

BLAST Premier Teams

According to the event’s website, fans of the esport should be excited to see that not only are the top three teams going to be participating but so will some fan favorites. Ranking #1, #2, and #3 respectively will be Astralis, Vitality, and Navi. The other teams will be Furia, G2, Team Liquid, Complexity, and Evil Geniuses. For Team Liquid, this will be the first tournament that we get to see the team play with their new AWPer, FalleN. It’ll be interesting to see how their team performs with the new, more experienced player before they head to IEM Katowice. However, Complexity does have one player out for the count, and JUGi will be standing in for them at the BLAST Premier Finals. With a change to the team happening so close to game day, it’ll be interesting to see how well the team meshes with the new addition as they wait for Poizon to recover.
