Group Stage for CS2 BLAST Premier Fall Groups are about to conclude, and eight teams have made their way into the Grand Final. Out of these eight, only four will be moving to the Fall Finals through the group stage, while the remaining four will contest the final two spots in the Play-Ins.
The last few days saw some surprising losses by fan favourites with some incredible runs by Team Vitality, Liquid, Spirit and G2 Esports to the Grand Finals. However, Fans do not need to worry if their favourite teams do not make it to the Fall Finals, as the remaining teams will be moving to the Fall Showdown for another chance.
Here are the Grand Final match-ups
Team Spirit Vs Complexity Gaming
Astralis Vs Team Vitality
G2 Esports Vs Ninjas in Pyjamas
Team Liquid Vs Natus Vincere
FaZe Clan face a huge setback
Following their initial loss against G2 Esports, FaZe faced Ninjas in Pyjamas in the lower brackets. FaZe was handed a surprise clean sweep that left many people speechless, as a majority of the community had given them a default win against NIP. However, it seems that FaZe is much shakier than the CS community presumed.
Over the last few months, FaZe has seen some heartbreaking losses, dropping out of big events like the Esports World Cup, IEM Dallas 2024, BLAST Spring Finals and ESL Pro League Season 19. All of these losses were against some tough teams, but the most recent loss was unpredictable. The only thing more shocking would be NaVi losing to Team Liquid once again.

On the contrary, G2 Esports have made a huge recovery in the same time frame with the Kovač brother back in action and the addition of Snax and malbsMd. The team recently secured Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2024 and second spot at the Esports World Cup.
