All teams attending the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas and Europe

The teams for the 2023 BLAST Premier Spring Showdown have been finalized after the conclusion of the online qualifiers.

The BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 concluded with six teams moving on to the Spring Finals, and six others dropping to the Showdown, which has been divided further into two regions—Europe and America. Each of the two tournaments, which will last from March 29 to April 2, will award one spot to the BLAST Premier Spring Final, which will take place on LAN in Washington, D.C.

Earlier this month, BLAST revealed the four teams that have received invites to the Spring Showdown. Three Brazilian teams—FURIA, MIBR, and paiN—received direct invites to the Americas Showdown whereas Fnatic is the only team to receive an invitation to the European Showdown.

Also competing in the spring showdown are the six Blast-partnered teams that failed to advance to Spring Finals and the six teams who earned a spot through online qualifiers. Here are all the CS:GO teams that will be fighting through the BLAST Premier Spring European/ American Showdown 2023.
