The 12 CS:GO teams that are partnered with tournament organizer BLAST traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark and played in the $177,498 BLAST Premier Fall Groups from Aug. 19 to 28.

The six best teams at this CS:GO tournament booked their spot in the BLAST Premier Fall Finals in November at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, while the bottom six will have to attend the Showdown in October and play against 10 other teams for the only two spots left in the Finals.

BLAST Fall Groups’ entry list includes some of the best CS:GO teams in the world, like Natus Vincere, Ninjas in Pyjamas, G2 Esports, and PGL Antwerp Major champs FaZe Clan. The 12 squads were split into three groups of four each for the start of the tournament, but the competition featured a knockout stage that uses a gauntlet-like format that will be seeded in accordance with the results of each group.
