Astralis and G2 at Blast Premier Spring

Astralis and G2 Secure Final Spots in Blast Premier Spring Groups 2024

2024 is starting out with a bang in Counter-Strike 2, as the most prominent teams in CS history battle it out on the road to the first big trophy of the year. As the dust finally settles on the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2024 after a week packed with elite-level Counter-Strike gameplay, only the strongest Counter-Strike 2 players can boost their teams to the top spots. Before today's matchups, two coveted slots for the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024 were still up for grabs, now, there are none!

Earlier this week we saw longtime CS:GO, and now CS2 legends Astralis clash with BIG, and the reigning champions from G2 face off against Liquid, each team vying to lock in their positions for the showdown in London this June!

Astralis Takes Out BIG

While Astralis vs. BIG may have seemed like a dull game on paper, the actual match was nothing short of intense. Despite Astralis' recent dominance at the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2024, the showdown against BIG proved to be a challenge for both squads and an entertaining performance for every fan. The series went the distance, requiring overtime on the third map to determine a winner. Despite a subdued performance from dev1ce, Astralis' experience and strategic power ultimately set them apart and helped them secure their spot in the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024.

Special commendation is due to Staehr, who, holding his spot over Buzz in the recent Astralis roster reshuffle, has grown to fit perfectly into his new role. In this crucial match with a ticket to London's BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024 at stake, the 19-year-old proved his worth, affirming why the Danes placed their trust in him.

With Astralis securing their spot in London come June, BIG's fate now depends on their performance in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024 in March.

The Kovač cousins are responsible for the triumph. Both NiKo and hunter showed they’re more than capable of boosting any team’s chances at victory and left a lasting impact throughout the series, preventing Liquid from gaining a substantial foothold at any moment in the match.

Looking ahead, G2 sets their sights on IEM Katowice 2024 with the goal of defending their title and preparing to show their worth at the BLAST Spring Showdown later in the year. On the flip side, Liquid isn't as fortunate in their journey.
