BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 – Groups revealed

A few hours ago, the groups for the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 were revealed, and we can already breathe the air of some spicy clashes that we are sure to have in the tournament.

Groups revealed

One of these clashes is between two former BLAST Premier: World Finals champions, NaVi and G2 Esports, both of whom won this trophy in 2021 and 2022, respectively. This pair of great teams will share Group C with NiP and BIG.

As we can see, the remaining two groups are also comprised of CS:GO teams of the highest competitive level. We have the winners of BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022, Heroic, the ever-present Team Liquid, Team Vitality, and much more.

Likewise, here are the groups for the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023.

Group A

• Heroic
• Team Vitality
• Astralis
• Evil Geniuses

Group B

• FaZe Clan
• Team Liquid
• OG Esports
• Complexity

Group C

• G2 Esports
• NaVi
• NiP
• BIG

The Danish team, Astralis, should play this tournament with its top player, AWPer Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz, who joined the team last October 27 but has not yet played any Tier-S or Tier-A tournament with the team.

FaZe Clan and Team Liquid are the teams to beat in Group B. There is no doubt about that. Team Liquid was a finalist in the Fall Finals 2022 a few weeks ago, and FaZe Clan had a spectacular 2022 season. However, OG and Complexity also have many options for this tournament, so we cannot underestimate them.

Let’s remember that OG advanced to the semifinals of the BLAST Premier: World Final 2022, while an excellent performance in top-level competitive events has characterized Complexity.
