Tournament organizer BLAST has taken a bit of a lead. The grand finale of its CS:GO circuit will only take place next December (between the 14th and 18th). But he has already announced the location of the competition. The structures will therefore be able to book their plane tickets and prepare accordingly. The climate promises to be a bit special, whereas here it will be cold at this time of the year.
Impossible to be too far-sighted for some. Only two teams have already validated their place for this final stage: Navi (winner of the Spring Finals) and FaZe (winner of the PGL Major). A team like Vitality, finalist of the Spring Finals will therefore have to work hard to hope to get their ticket.
A tournament to end the year in style?
In 2021, BLAST closed the competitive year with a victory for Navi and the team will try to do the same for 2022. The BLAST finals will allow the winners to finish the season in style and it is hoped that Team Vitality will manage to be the appointment. At the moment, the titans project is in a bit of a slump, but we saw some progress in the team's last outing. By December, a lot can happen and we're crossing our fingers that the bees are on top.
This last act will take place in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). But beyond the heavenly setting, there will above all be $1 million to be won live from the Etihad Arena. We don't know if the European public will make the trip, but tickets will soon be on sale... On a misunderstanding, we could see Tik Tok influencers, Dubai is not very far.
Who will be the other 6 teams in the tournament?
In all, 8 teams will participate in this tournament. In addition to Navi and FaZe, there should be very heavy... but we will have to wait to discover the identity of the other competitors.
- the winner of the Falls Finals (BLAST)
- Rio Major winner
- the winner of the ESL Pro League 16

the 3 best teams of the Global Leaderboard
Currently, the 3 leaders are FaZe (13,125 points), Navi (8,462.5 points) and ENCE (5,950 points). Vitality is in ambush in 4th place with 4,625 points. We don't know exactly how BLAST intends to do if a team like FaZe and Navi wins the qualifying tournaments again... We assume, however, that the teams that follow in the Global Leaderboard inherit the places. Good news for bees!
