BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2024
Copenhagen, Denmark
Natus Vincere and Virtus.pro Come Through the Spring Groups Unbeaten
The Copenhagen groups sent Natus Vincere and Virtus.pro through at 3-0, while Complexity, HEROIC, OG and Spirit went out at 0-2. Overpass was picked first eight times, more than any other map here, and Anubis was played thirteen times — the most of any map — while being picked first just once. The stage settles places in the BLAST Premier season, not a title.
2024-01-22 – 2024-01-28, part of Season 1a. 26 matches played across 61 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 Spring 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 61 maps at 51.1% CT; Season 1a as a whole played 528 maps at 50.8% CT (0.8pts CT-leaning) — 0.3pts more CT-sided than the season as a whole.
61 maps is under a quarter of Season 1a's 528 maps — a small sample against the season it sat in, marked here rather than read as equally trustworthy.
