Accordingly, the BLAST Premier World Final 2022 concluded in the past weekend. Ending the 2022 season on a high for CS:GO, G2 Esports managed to defy the odds and come out on top. Read on as we recap the event below!
BLAST Premier World Final – A Nice Surprise
Indeed, we had $1,000,000 on the line for the 8 BLAST Premier teams attending. With favourites such as Natus Vincere, Heroic, Outsiders and FaZe Clan – how did G2 win?
Starting in the Group Stage, G2 Esports barely managed to get to the Playoffs, with a 1-1 record in Group A finishing 3rd.
Seeded into the Quarterfinals, G2 Esports then went on a crazy run:
- Team Vitality vs G2 Esports (1-2)
- FaZe Clan vs G2 Esports (0-2)
- G2 Esports vs Team Liquid (2-0)
After not winning anything for the past 2 years, with multiple second place finishes, they’ve finally won a chip again.
Accordingly, most will remember the 2nd place finish at PGL Major Stockholm 2021.
In addition, the event had some great viewership, with the following numbers according to Esports Charts:
- Peak Viewers – 378,262
- Average Viewers – 162,465
Overall, it was an awesome event and we can’t wait for more!
