The BLAST Premier Fall Finals are finally underway, kicking off yesterday (November 23), and will run until November 27.
We’ve already seen some fantastic CS:GO action in the Group Stage, with Group A teams OG and Ninjas in Pyjamas both facing elimination, after being defeated by FaZe Clan and Heroic, respectively.
FaZe Clan and Heroic are both riding high after their victories yesterday. FaZe Clan in particular showed a fantastic performance, besting OG in a 2-0 victory, but Heroic similarly have a 2-1 victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas to brag about. The two victors are due to face each other later today, in a match that you’re sure to not want to miss.
The eight teams across Group A and B are competing to earn their slice of the $425,000 prize pool, alongside BLAST Premier points and the right to compete at the World Final tournament in December.
With the first games in this double elimination bracket out of the way, two teams will be heading home after today’s games, leaving the remaining six to head into the quarter finals.
Time will tell which of the teams will be heading home, as the tension racks up ahead of the quarter finals, beginning tomorrow. And before the next round starts in earnest, we’ll take a look at the odds below to help you keep up with the action.

BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022 Group A matches
OG (1.89) - Ninjas in Pyjamas (1.89)
Today’s CS:GO action begins at 9AM GMT with the Group A loser’s match between OG and Ninjas in Pyjamas. Both teams are fighting to survive here, with OG coming out of a particularly bruising 2-0 loss against FaZe Clan yesterday. The two teams are coming into this pretty evenly matched, with both having a real chance of heading into the quarter finals tomorrow - and of course, a real chance of going home.
UPDATE: Ninjas in Pyjamas are victorious, in a 2-0 win over OG, sending the Danish team home ahead of the quarter finals.
FaZe Clan (1.82) - Heroic (1.96)
The winners match will take place at 12PM, and is bound to be a nail-biter. Both teams have shown strong performances so far, with FaZe Clan clearly eager to make up for their disappointing performance at the IEM Rio Major. Heroic have played well so far, but the odds are slightly in FaZe Clan’s favour, with odds of 1.82 to 1.96, respectively. Still, it’s all to play for, and this is absolutely not a showdown that you’ll want to miss.
UPDATE: FaZe Clan claimed victory here, earning a 2-0 win over Heroic.
