by The BLAST Premier Fall Final will present as the last chance to qualify for the BLAST Premier World Final for one of these teams who aren’t qualified already. There will be eight teams making the trip to Copenhagen to take their place in the Fall Finals and they are Natus Vincere, FaZe Clan, Team Liquid, OG, G2 Esports, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Heroic and Fluxo.
Of the eight teams only Natus Vincere and FaZe Clan have qualified for the World Final after their victories in the BLAST Premier Spring Finals, ESL Pro League and PGL Major. Not only will the winner of this tournament book their spot in the World Final next month, but they will also take home the US$200,000 winners’ cheque.
Esports betting sites have Natus Vincere ($3.75) as their favourite followed by, Heroic ($4.00), FaZe Clan ($5.00), G2 Esports ($6.50), Team Liquid ($7.50), Ninjas in Pyjamas ($11.00), OG ($11.00) and Fluxo ($34.00).
Best bet – G2 Esports to win outright
G2 Esports haven’t been seen at an international since they finished 3rd-4th at ESL Pro League 16 in early October, where they lost to Vitality 0-2 in the semi-final. After the ESL Pro League, G2 participated in the European RMR for the 2022 IEM Rio Major, but they were unable to qualify, finishing 12th-14th. After their recent form slump and inability to qualify for the Major, the organisation saw it fit to relieve the G2 coach, Remy “XTQZZ” Quoniam, of his duties.
Now Jan “Swani” Muller will take over the coaching duties for the G2 Esports CS:GO team on an interim basis, but as we know, this could be a perfect audition for Swani to gain the job permanently with some good performances. G2 will come into the BLAST Premier Fall Finals refreshed after having six weeks off the professional scene. We expect to see something new from G2 now that they have a new coach their new additions, Justin “jks” Savage and Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen, have had time to practice with the team, since joining them three months ago.
Natus Vincere and FaZe Clan are going to be hard to beat, but with the added advantage of not having to fly to Brazil and play in the Major and more time to practice, we see G2 Esports as the one to beat in Copenhagen.
