CS2 Blast Premier World Final: Picks, Predictions and Odds

Taking place at the Resorts World Convention Centre in Sentosa, Singapore, the Blast Premier World Final gets underway on Wednesday this week.

The S-Tier event is one of the biggest in the realm of Counter Strike 2 and has a limited field with just eight teams set to battle it out for the title and the lion's share of the $1 million prize money.

The teams involved in the event have qualified through a variety of channels, from the Fall and Spring finals to major tournament triumphs to their position on the global leaderboard.

The CS2 Blast Premier World Final will begin with a group stage with two groups of four teams with the top three in each progressing to the single-bracket playoffs.

There are plenty of storylines and narratives set to unfold in Singapore with Natus Vincere looking to justify their tag as tournament favorites and Team Vitality aiming to impress in the absence of William "mezii" Merriman.

All in all, it is one of the most highly anticipated events on the Esports calendar and it is not to be missed.

CS2 Blast Premier World Final betting picks and predictions

Natus Vincere to win CS2 Blast Premier World Final (+200)

It is hard to argue with Natus Vincere as outright favorites at +200 and at that price, they still offer decent value.

NAVI are top of the HLTV World CS2 rankings and for good reason.

Since the start of August, they have been dominant on the CS2 circuit, winning both season 20 of the ESL Pro League and the IEM Rio, as well as making the finals of the IEM Cologne and the Blast Premier Fall Final.

They were also runners-up in the Blast Premier Spring Final before winning the Esports World Cup and they come into the CS2 Blast Premier World Final in terrific shape.

On top of that, they find themselves in the more straightforward group with a less-demanding opening assignment against Astralis, and they are unlikely to slip up.

Team Vitality are usually there or thereabouts in major tournaments but the absence of "mezii" due to personal reasons is a blow and replacement Audric "JACKZ" Jug arguably lacks the big-game experience.

NAVI have been the team to beat in CS2 throughout 2024 and they can make their mark in Singapore.

MOUZ to reach the final of the CS2 Blast Premier World Final (+225)

For those wanting to back a team other than NAVI outright, MOUZ could make an appeal to make the final at +225.

MOUZ are stationed in the same group as NAVI but given that three teams progress from the section, that should not be a problem.

They should finish above Astralis and potentially FaZe Clan in their group and they come into the tournament in good form.

Currently fourth in the HLTV world rankings, MOUZ were runners-up at the IEM Rio 2024 just earlier this month and they could use that experience to their advantage at the CS2 Blast Premier World Final.

Team Spirit to win Group B (+250)

Both NAVI and MOUZ are in Group A and the team offering the best value to perform in Group B are Team Spirit, who are worth backing at +250 to win their section.

As mentioned, the big side in Group B, Team Vitality, are currently dealing with the absence of a key player while both G2 Esports and Team Liquid, the others in the group, have had changes to their roster.

G2 are a strong side and are still in with a shout to win the group, but Team Spirit carry the value.

Spirit were champions of Dacha Belgrade in September and also placed in the first through fourth positions at the Blast Premier Fall Groups, so they know how to put together a run.
