BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022: FaZe Clan, G2 Esports, paiN Gaming and Vitality enter the fight for the trophy

BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022 is just around the corner, and we decided to bring to your attention an overview of the participants of group A. You must admit that FaZe Clan, G2 Esports, paiN Gaming and Vitality have a good lineup. At the same time, only three teams will reach the playoffs, as well as the worst team will leave the championship in advance and go to prepare for the next events.

Another trophy for FaZe Clan?

The undisputed leader of this quartet is the FaZe Clan team, which only in the last few months became the champion of Intel Extreme Masters XVI - Katowice, ESL Pro League Season 15 and PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Yes, the team failed at the recent Intel Extreme Masters XVII - Dallas, but with who does not happen. Moreover, the players themselves and the coaching staff stated that they did not have full-fledged training before the North American championship. Now, the wards of RobbaN had to rest and gain strength in order to finally gain a foothold on the top of Olympus.

At the same time, it is difficult for FaZe Clan to find problems that could prevent the team from winning the next tournament. Yes, in some places the team relies too much on luck, but the practice of recent events shows that it works. As well as the fact that FaZe Clan, if given the opportunity, can play on any map, including Vertigo.

Chance for G2 Esports

As part of the group stage, as well as in the context of the entire championship, it will be interesting to watch G2 Esports. The last six months can hardly be called successful for a team that has spent a lot of money on transfers, and also invited a new captain. As a result, we have so far received the Intel Extreme Masters XVI - Katowice silver, as well as eternal circulation around the bush.

However, at the recent Intel Extreme Masters XVII - Dallas, the team showed small signs of life, becoming a little more intelligent, as well as NiKo improved their individual skill. If G2 Esports does not stop there, they may try to compete with the group A favorite.

Vitality's last try?

How many conversations were, but what's the point? This is how you can describe the current state of affairs in the camp of the Danish-French team. Apparently, the transfer of the Danes confused all the cards for the team, which at the end of last year was the main competitor of NAVI in the fight for trophies. However, at the beginning of the current season, Vitality shows poor results, and the game itself leaves much to be desired.

Here, even apEX himself burst into a frank interview in which he threw a couple of stones into the misutaaa garden. Yes, and the detached fans can see that the team cannot really find a common language, both literally and figuratively. Apparently, Vitality will be able to compete for third place in the group, although who knows, maybe the Brazilians will surprise us.

What to expect from paiN Gaming?

The Brazilian team is going to BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022 as the main outsider not only of Group A, but of the entire championship as a whole. Indeed, so far we see only one team from the North American region that can compete in Europe - FURIA. PaiN Gaming has a lot of questions.

Yes, the team became the winner of the American Showdown, where they outplayed MIBR and FURIA. However, paiN Gaming's latest results do not inspire optimism, as the team is still unable to establish itself among the leaders in its region. It is hardly possible to fully judge the team by victories in the ESL Challenger League Season 41: North America and ESEA Cash Cup, but the Brazilians are clearly lacking in the class. Let's see what the team will show us, which many buried in advance.

BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022 will be held from June 15 to 19 in Lisbon at the Altice Arena. As part of the championship, the eight best teams of the spring season from Europe and North America will compete for a prize pool of $425,000, rating points for the BLAST Premier table, and a ticket to BLAST Premier: World Final 2022.
