The BLAST Premier circuit returns to Denmark with the Fall Final event, live from Copenhagen. Follow all the action here, with our coverage hub.
Eight teams will take part in the event, including IEM Rio runners-up Heroic
FaZe eager to bounce back after Major heartbreak
The playoffs will be held in front of a crowd, at the Royal Arena
With the IEM Rio Major in the rearview mirror, the CS:GO community now turns its attention to the final two big events of the year, both of which will be hosted by BLAST. The Fall season of the BLAST Premier circuit will culminate in a five-day tournament in Copenhagen, with the playoff matches being held in front of a live crowd at the Royal Arena.
A week has passed since the Brazilian Major, which saw Outsiders defeat Heroic in a one-sided final. The Danish team returns to action at the BLAST Premier Fall Final as the hometown favorites in the absence of Astralis, who could not qualify for the event.
Several teams travel to Copenhagen with a point to prove, including G2 Esports, who are still reeling from the shocking failure to qualify for the Major. FaZe and NIP gave a poor account of themselves in Rio and will also be seeking redemption at the BLAST event, with the latter still not qualified for the World Final, next month.
Catch up with all the pre-event info here, including the complete schedule, the qualified teams and the prize money distribution.

BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022: All qualified teams
Six of the eight participating teams at the BLAST Premier Fall Final came from the group stage event, featuring the 12 partner sides. The tournament was held in Copenhagen in August.
The final two teams, Heroic and Fluxo, came from the BLAST Premier Showdown tournaments held in Europe and the Americas, respectively. Fluxo’s team, which beat Evil Geniuses, 00 Nation and MIBR en route to Copenhagen, was put together in the summer by the renowned Brazilian organization as it was looking to enter the game before the IEM Rio Major. (The team ended up not qualifying for the event.)
