One the most prestigious Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) regional tournament in Europe and America, the BLAST Premier Fall 2020, returns tonight.

12 of the best CS:GO pro teams across the two regions were invited to battle it out for the US$425,000 total prize pool, precious points that count towards their BLAST Premier Circuit 2020 standings, and - most importantly - the much sought-after spot to the Global Finals, which can only be seated by the number one squad.

Here are the 12 teams competing in the BLAST Premier Fall 2020:

Group 1

• Natus Vincere
• Ninjas in Pyjamas
• Evil Geniuses
• OG

Group 2

• Team Vitality
• Complexity
• BIG
• FaZe Clan

Group 3

• Astralis
• MIBR
• FURIA Esports
• G2 Esports

The BLAST Premier Fall 2020 is divided into three stages: Regular Season, Showdown and Finals. In the first phase that is Regular Season, it'll adopt a double-elimination best-of-three group stage format, with the top 2 teams of each group progressing straight to the finals; the bottom 2 teams will instead be given a second chance at Showdown, with only the top 2 teams advancing to the Finals. The grand finale will determine who's the sole team to win entries to the BLAST Premier: Global Final 2020, as well as the US$225,000 cash prize.

The BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Regular Season will run from tonight (26 October) onwards at 11PM (GMT +8) daily. Catch the CS:GO action LIVE on eGG Network, or Twitch if you’re an online user. You can check out the official BLAST Premier website and Facebook for more info.
