The biggest players in the CS:GO s1mple and ZywOo will face each other in one of the first sets of matches in the BLAST Premier World Finals.
The BLAST Premier World Finals is a $1 million CS:GO tournament. Two of CS: GO’s most prominent players will continue their rivalry when Natus Vincere faces Vitality on Wednesday, the 14th of December.
The game will be an opening-round fixture and the sixth time that both teams will face each other in 2022 after five previous matchups. It is a fixture dominated by NAVI, who won four of the last five. It is also a repeat of last year’s BLAST Premier World Final which NAVI won 2-0 in a game that S1mple was rated 1.44 while his rival ZwyOo finished with a 31-31 K/D.
Their most recent clash was on the 5th of November in the IEM Rio Major Legends Stage. NAVI took that game with a 25-21 on Mirage. S1mple had a big stake in the game as he died on 28 occasions and dropped a 40-bomb while ZywOo finished with a 31-31 K/D.
Outsiders will play Team Liquid at 12 am CT, FaZe and G2 will face at 3 am CT, and Heroic will take on OG at 6 am CT in the remaining matches in the opening round of the BLAST Premier World Final.
The BLAST Premier World Final will start on the 14th of December and end on the 18th of December in the city of Abu Dhabi in UAE.
Eight teams will participate in the $1 Million rated CS:GO tournament with a group stage that will have a double-elimination best-of-three format. In contrast, the group winners will move into the semifinal.
The second and third teams in the quarterfinal will move to the quarterfinal. NAVI is the competition’s defending champion from the Copenhagen event last year.
