2023 Spring Festival Opening Competition - BLAST Spring Group Stage Starts Tonight! 12 giants gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark, to compete for six places in the spring finals.
Spring Group Stage Lineup and Grouping
Some of the personnel changes in this team:
Astralis: This is the first offline tournament since Device officially returned to Team A
EG: Team White Fat Ball CeRq is reduced to a substitute, and Wiz is the team's new sniper
NaVi: Temporary worker Sdy leaves the team, and NPL becomes the fifth person
NIP: es3tag reduced to a substitute, Ukrainian rookie headtr1ck became a new sniper
FaZe: Rain and coach Robba N are absent from the event, and who will replace Rain is currently unannounced
Spring group stage format
The spring group stage is divided into two stages: group stage and promotion stage
The 12 teams are only involved in promotion, not elimination. Six winner teams advance to the Spring Finals, the remaining 6 loser teams fall into the repechage, and there are still 2 places waiting for them to advance to the Spring Finals
The 12 teams in the group stage were divided into 3 groups, and the first place in each group directly advanced to the spring final (3 teams)
The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th teams from the three groups of the qualifying stage are grouped together, with the 3rd and 4th teams in each group competing first, and the winner and 2nd place compete for the remaining spring final spots (3)
The races are all BO3
Yesterday's war situation
BLAST Spring Group Stage Day 2: FaZe beat coL 2-0, Broccoli, Third Master, and Director were in good shape, and the Galaxy battleship easily won.
OG defeated Liquid 2-0 in overtime, Figure 1 shows OG crushing game, Figure 2 Liquid selected nuke for the first time since 2021, the two teams fought until overtime, nexa, NEOFRAG and Pai Bear took turns to make a comeback, and NAF was unable to return to the sky.
G2 beat BIG 2-0, Figure 1 and the two teams fell into a stalemate, but unfortunately tabseN and syrsoN were dumb, and the German tank lost by two points. Figure 2 hangs the game, the three giants cousin, ni gongzi, and child kill the opponent lightly.
Today's fixture
Tonight's 19:00 match continues, with the first focus match, NaVi vs NIP, both of which are new five-man lineups (NPL has played in the previous six-man lineup). The last two games are the second round of Group A, especially the life and death battle between Heroic and Team A.
The Spring Festival is coming, the competition has begun, and the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit will be accompanied by CSGO's BLAST Spring Race!
