The BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 is just around the corner, with eight CS2 teams ready to face off at Forum Copenhagen, all vying for a share of the $425,000 prize pool. Curious about who might emerge victorious? Our power rankings for the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 cover both the top contenders and potential underdogs.
Top Contenders at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024
Let’s dive into the main favorites for this CS2 event. Leading the charge is NAVI, unsurprisingly. They always seem to be in a strong position, and after their recent Pro League triumph, they’re bringing a wave of momentum into this tournament. It’s true that they’ve had little downtime, but the schedule is so packed that it likely feels like their last event never really ended.
Next on the list is Team Vitality. Their victory at IEM Cologne 2024 marked their first title of the year, but they’ve been consistently competing for the biggest prizes. Vitality will be eager to solidify 2024 as a year of success, and another trophy is essential to achieve that. We see them as one of the top contenders in Copenhagen.
Here are our power rankings for the teams competing at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024:
1. NAVI
2. Team Vitality
3. G2
4. Team Liquid
5. Team Spirit
6. FaZe Clan
7. Astralis
8. Team Falcons
Lastly, there’s G2. With NiKo rumored to join Team Falcons next year, this is one of his final opportunities to claim a Major with G2. Although the Major is still a few months away, G2 will be aiming to secure at least one more trophy with this roster to prove their strength ahead of Shanghai. They’ve had solid showings recently, though there are still some questions about Snax’s T-side strategies. However, with fewer teams in the competition, G2 could certainly be a threat at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024.
Underdogs to Watch at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024
Given the high level of competition among CS2 teams at this event, any team could pull off an upset under the right conditions. However, some squads arrive in Copenhagen with a bit of an underdog label due to their recent form.
Our top underdog is Team Spirit. Despite winning the BLAST Spring Final earlier this year, they now find themselves as dark horses. The second half of 2024 has been tough for them, and if donk doesn’t deliver, the team struggles. While donk generally performs well, Spirit will need a more collective effort from the entire roster if they hope to make a deep run. After all, CS is a team-based game.
Following closely behind as another underdog is FaZe Clan. The team seems to be going through a turbulent period, and without a roster shakeup, it’s hard to see them regaining stability. They’ll need to step up in a tournament where they aren’t widely seen as contenders for the title. But with FaZe, anything can happen.
