The Counter-Strike 2 season continues in Denmark this week with the start of the Fall segment of the BLAST calendar. Sixteen teams head to the studio in Copenhagen to play for a chunk of cash, but also that all-important spot in September’s Fall Final.
It’s the second big event in the last month following the Esports World Cup, where we saw Natus Vincere defy the odds and put a stop to G2’s charge through the Saudi Arabian tournament. This edition of the Fall Groups will be one you won’t want to miss, with Cloud9’s much-publicized roster making its debut as well as many other big names backing up from outings in Riyadh.
Here’s everything you need to know about the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 CS2 event: Full schedule, results, streams, and more.

BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024 format and teams
BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024 sees 16 CS2 teams go head-to-head in the BLAST Studio in Copenhagen for a shot at qualification to the Fall Final later this year. There’s a little cash prize up for grabs for all entrants, but all eyes will be on making that group stage final match and locking in a tournament spot for September’s main event.
The teams have been sorted into four groups of four. Each will play through a double elimination bracket, with the upper and lower bracket winners meeting in a group final. Winners of the group final qualify directly for September’s Fall Final; the losers get one last chance in the Play-In.
The four runner-ups from the groups will fall to the Play-In and take on another group’s challenger for a final spot in the Fall Final. Lose in the Play-In, and you’re done. Here are the teams participating in the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024.
| Qualification | Team(s) |
