Eight of the best CS:GO teams in the world played in the BLAST Premier World Final, the last S-tier event of the year, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The tournament ran from Tuesday, Dec. 14, to Sunday, Dec. 19, and saw the eight squads fight for their share of the $1 million prize pool.
The BLAST Premier World Final used a double-elimination bracket, and all matches were best-of-three series. Unlike the Fall Final in November, this tournament wasn’t played in front of a live audience because of the rise of coronavirus cases caused by the Omicron variant.
Natus Vincere, the undisputed best CS:GO team in the world, won the BLAST Premier World Final with an impressive run in the competition’s lower bracket. The CIS powerhouse secured five wins in a row after losing to Team Liquid in the opening round.
Here are the BLAST Premier World Final’s scores, standings, and bracket.
