BLAST Reveal Invited Teams for Spring Showdown

Three teams have been invited to take part in the upcoming BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2022. Among them are two Brazilian squads – FURIA Esports and GODSENT, as well as the Danish roster of Heroic. Due to BLAST’s recent decision to avoid inviting Russian-based teams to their events, the line-up does not include Virtus.pro or Gambit, who are ranked higher in the world rating.

Besides the invited teams, the tournament’s line-up also includes MIBR, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Astralis, Complexity Gaming, Team Liquid and Evil Geniuses, who earlier placed 7-12th in the Spring Groups. On top of that, the line-up will feature seven winners of the regional qualifying events. Note that initially there were eight such tournaments, but WePlay CIS Masters was cancelled.

BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2022 was initially scheduled for April 20th – 24th, however later was rescheduled for April 27th – May 1st due to the RMR events. The event will feature a $135,000 in prize money and two invites for the seasonal finale with $425,000 at stake.
