CSGO teams continue their busy schedule. After several stages passed, BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022 is ready to begin. Eight teams that have successfully qualified will compete against each other to win slots at BLAST Premier: World Final 2022 between June 15-19. The first day calendar and predictions of the event, which will be held as offline in Lisbon, are as follows.

Predictions: FaZe Clan to win

Odds: 1.03

When: June 15, 2022 – 11:00 CEST

FaZe Clan, the reigning Major champion, takes the stage in the opening match of the CSGO tournament. The team, which has shown great performances in a row in the last period, did not lose anything from its power even though it did not reach the championship in IEM Dallas. They have created a great harmony with their new restructuring and they don’t seem to lose this easily.

FaZe Clan’s opponent in Group A’s first match is Brazilian representative paiN Gaming. paiN are a very important brand in its region and have been in the CS:GO scene for a long time. On the way to this match, they are in great form, winning 8 of the last 10 games. But this level of form will not be enough for them to beat the European giant. That’s why the favorite of the series is FaZe Clan.

G2 Esports vs Team Vitality

When: June 15, 2022 – 14:00 CEST

In another match of the day, two unstable teams come face to face. Increasing their performance towards the end of 2021, G2 Esports had a good start to 2022. However, the team has been struggling to win important matches for a long time. And that prevents them from winning championships.

Vitality, on the other hand, suffers from the same issue. They went through a major roster change at the beginning of the year and are still getting used to each other. There are very talented players on the roster and their games reach the top level from time to time. Unfortunately, they can’t keep it up all the time. Although G2 are one step ahead in this series, Vitality are likely to surprise.

Natus Vincere vs OG

Predictions: Natus Vincere to win

Odds: 1.25

Betting Site: Odds provided by Thunderpick Esports

When: June 15, 2022 – 17:00 CEST

OG, who could not find the success they were looking for in the CS:GO scene, will participate in the first big tournament with their renewed staff. Considering their first opponent is the mighty Natus Vincere, it won’t be a good start for them.

After consecutive achievements in 2021, Natus Vincere have not yet achieved the desired victories in 2022. They participated in PGL Major Antwerp 2022 lastly and lost to FaZe Clan in the grand final. While these losses show some of Natus Vincere’s weaknesses in the big picture, none of them matter against OG. They are big favorites in this series. 

ENCE vs BIG

CSGO Predictions: ENCE to win

Odds: 1.35

Betting Site: Odds provided by Thunderpick

When: June 15, 2022 – 20:00 CEST

The last match of the day is expected to be one-sided. After long periods of failure, BIG organization brought former legends gob b to the role of coach. It will take some time for this change to take full effect and the Germany-based organization will consider BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022 as a tool to increase their alignment.

On the other hand, there is a powerful team. ENCE performed well above average in all tournaments they participated in in 2022 and narrowly missed trophies, including the Major. Lastly, the team lost to Cloud9 in the grand final at IEM Dallas. Winning this series will not be difficult for ENCE.
