BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 Format

BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 will use the same format as the 2023 tournament with a tiny exception – the grand final will be played as best-of-five (BO5) rather than best-of-three (BO3).

The tournament will begin with two four-team double-elimination GSL groups, with all matches being best-of-three (BO3). The top three teams from each group advance to the playoffs.

Group stage winners will receive a direct invite to the semifinals, runners-up will proceed to the quarterfinals as high seeds, whereas third-placed teams will advance to the quarterfinals as low seeds.

Playoffs will be single-elimination with quarterfinals and semifinals played as BO3. The grand final is BO5.

BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 Betting Odds

Esports betting sites have opened BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 outright betting markets well ahead of time. However, with no S-Tier tournaments scheduled to take place, the prices should not shift much by the time the event begins.

According to the outright markets, the current no.1 Counter-Strike team in the world, Natus Vincere, are the leading favourites at 3.00, well ahead of Team Vitality and G2 Esports, who are tied as second favourites at 6.00.

MOUZ sit close behind at 6.50 and are alongside Team Spirit (7.00), the only remaining team priced at single digits.

FaZe Clan, who qualified for BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 as no.5 on BLAST Premier World Leaderboard 2024 are priced at 11.00, ahead of Team Liquid (15.00), and Astralis (26.00), who are complete outsiders.

Team	Odds
Natus Vincere	3.00
Team Vitality	6.00
G2 Esports	6.00
MOUZ	6.50
Team Spirit	7.00
FaZe Clan	11.00
Team Liquid	15.00
Astralis	26.00

Natus Vincere have recently established themselves as the hottest Counter-Strike team in the world, having placed top two in the last four S-Tier tournaments. That includes titles from ESL Pro League Season 20 and Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024 and two silver medals from IEM Cologne 2024 and BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024.

Vitality and G2 Esports split the two of the last four big events which NaVi failed to claim, winning IEM Cologne 2024 and BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024, respectively. So, while they both pose a serious threat for NaVi and their title hopes, neither have shown as much consistency.

MOUZ fall in the same basket as a highly talented team who have shown great things but less consistently as NaVi, whereas FaZe Clan have not come within arms reach of an S-Tier tournament once since April when they won Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2024.

Team Liquid and Astralis qualified for BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 as no.8 and no.7 on the BLAST Premier World Leaderboard 2024, respectively. This sums up where they stand – as elite teams who are not quite up there with the leading few.
