Over the past month or so, we’ve been building up for one particular CS:GO event. Indeed, with the past BLAST Premier Groups, we’re ready for the main event. Accordingly, the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2021 is just around the corner and you need to be filled in. Read on to learn about all of the juicy viewership details!
Event Background
This new structure, the BLAST Premier series of events, is making its debut this year.
Focusing on multiple exciting events across the calendar year, it builds up to the World Final 2021 later on this year.
Focusing on this upcoming event, we have 16 of the best teams in the world competing for the majority of $162,500. Furthermore, the event will run from 12th to the 18th October in an online environment.
Organized by BLAST, we have the competing teams listed below together with how they made it to this stage:
- Team Liquid – Fall Groups
- G2 Esports – Fall Groups
- Complexity – Fall Groups
- Evil Geniuses – Fall Groups
- MIBR – Fall Groups
- OG – Fall Groups
- Heroic – Invited
- Virtus.pro – Invited
- MAD Lions – EU Champions
- Movistar Riders – RTP Arena Cup
- Dignitas – Nordic Masters
- Team Fiend – Eastern European Masters
- paiN Gaming – Fragadelphia Invitational
- 9z Team – FiReLEAGUE Latin Power
- Lynn Vision – Chinese Qualifier
- POGGERZ – Calyx Dune Cup
Apart from the prize pool on the line, there is also seeding and points to fight for. Specifically, the top 8 can grab some much desired BLAST Premier Points while the first place winner and second place earns a direct seed to the Fall Finals.
These remaining teams are fighting for the last two spots at the Fall Finals.
Format
In terms of format, this event is offering one you wouldn’t typically see. Accordingly, with the Group Stage already out of the way through the previous event, we can focus on a high-stakes bracket.
Bearing this in mind, BLAST is bringing the heat with a deadly single-elimination bracket. Like this, each BO3 threatens the lifeline of every participant at the event. Take a look at your Round of 16 matches:
- Heroic vs POGGERZ
- Team Fiend vs Dignitas
- Complexity vs MIBR
- paiN Gaming vs OG
- Team Liquid vs 9z Team
- Movistar Riders vs Virtus.pro

- Lynn Vision vs G2 Esports
Let’s now dive into the schedule.

Predictions
Heading into this event prior to the announcement of the Invited teams, one would easily favour those lower seeds from the previous BLAST Premier Groups event. However, the announcement of Heroic taking part is definitely a big threat to other teams.
Placing 3-4th at the recent EPL Season 14 event, they’re definitely one of the top teams in the world. Others, the likes of perhaps Team Liquid and G2 Esports will contend with Heroic for the two remaining spots.
