BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024
Copenhagen, Denmark
Four Teams Come Through the BLAST Premier Fall Groups Without a Loss
The Copenhagen groups sent G2, Liquid, Spirit and Vitality through at 3-0, and put Cloud9, GamerLegion, OG and Virtus.pro out at 0-2. Rounds split almost exactly even across the stage, 50.0 percent CT. This is a group phase of a larger BLAST Premier season, so its last match settles a place in the finals rather than a title.
2024-07-29 – 2024-08-04, part of Season 1b. 26 matches played across 63 maps at Tier 1 events — HLTV Majors and international LAN events with a prize pool between $600,000 and $2,000,000.
championWho took it
BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024's own name marks it as one phase of a larger tournament — its last match's winner is not a tournament champion.

Per-map veto counts and the thin-sample rule
A row marked "thin sample" played under a quarter of this event's own busiest map — the same relative cut `/pro-meta` uses for a thin season or month, applied here within this one event. A map with no CT/T bar was banned before it was ever played, not omitted.
against the seasonHow it compares with its own season
This event played 63 maps at 50.0% CT; Season 1b as a whole played 1,012 maps at 49.7% CT (0.3pts T-leaning) — 0.3pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.
63 maps is under a quarter of Season 1b's 1,012 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
