BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024: Schedule, teams, results, how to watch, and more

The Counter-Strike 2 season continued to Denmark in July and August with the start of the Fall segment of the BLAST calendar. Sixteen teams headed to the studio in Copenhagen to play for a chunk of cash, but also that all-important spot in September’s Fall Final.

It was the second big event in a month following the Esports World Cup, where we saw Natus Vincere defy the odds and put a stop to G2’s charge through the Saudi Arabian tournament. Cloud9’s much-publicized roster made its debut as well as a whole host of other big names backed up from outings in Riyadh.

BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024 format and teams

BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024 saw 16 CS2 teams go head-to-head in the BLAST Studio in Copenhagen for a shot at qualification to the Fall Final later this year. There was a little cash prize up for grabs for all entrants, but all eyes were on making that groups final match and locking in a tournament spot for September’s main event.

The teams were sorted into four groups of four. Each played through a double elimination bracket, with the upper and lower winners meeting in a group final. Winners of the group final qualified directly for September’s Fall Final; the losers got one last chance in the Play-In.

The four runner-ups from the groups fell to the Play-In and took on another group’s challenger for a final spot in the Fall Final. A loss in the Play-In meant they were done, with teams missing out hoping for another chance in the Showdown. Here are the teams participating in the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024.
