BLAST Premier

BLAST Premier is a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) professional esports league launched in 2020. It is primarily based in two regions: North America and Europe. The series is split up into two seasons, the Spring and Fall season. Each series would last around four months and it would end with a season finals.[1] The winner of each season finals would go on to participate the Global Finals at the end of the year.[2] The Danish esports organisation, RFRSH Entertainment, announced the series as a successor to the BLAST Pro Series in 2019.[3]
