CS:GO Weekly Digest

Another CS:GO gaming week has come to an end, which means that it's time to briefly talk about the most iconic events that took place last week in the world of Valve 's shooter.

BLAST Premier Fall 2022 Groups

The group stage of BLAST Premier Fall 2022 Groups has come to an end. The most significant tags in the world of modern Counter-Strike took part in it: Team Vitality, Astralis, Natus Vincere, Team Liquid and others.

In Group A, Astralis performed the best. In Group B, despite the absence of s1mple, Natus Vincere made their way through the lower bracket and showed an excellent result, taking first place there. In Group C, in turn, Heroic won. This means that the three of the above teams went straight to the finals of the Play-In stage. The finalists of these quartets represented by Team Vitality, Team Liquid and FaZe Clan will start their journey from the semi-finals to the Play-In.

The remaining teams will compete with each other in the quarterfinals. Such a fate was prepared for OG, Complexity Gaming, G2 Esports, BIG, Evil Geniuses and NiP.

Later we will share our opinion on expectations in a separate article, and you can see a more detailed analysis of past CS:GO matches here.

ESL Challenger League Season 42 Asia-Pacific

In the absence of fish, as they say, and cancer is a fish - this is how you can describe the value of ESL Challenger Season 42 Asia-Pacific. While nothing big is happening on the stage except for BLAST Premier Fall 2022 Groups, CS:GO fans are not deprived of matches and can look at what is happening as part of the 42nd season of the ESL Challenger League in the countries of Oceania.

The first two game days were over and the best performance was shown by CatEvil, Aravt, Renewal, NKT, Clutch and LRabbit. OS, MongolZ, D13, YKG, Moon and NEXGA, in turn, showed poor results and temporarily (or not?) were outsiders.

Teams should try because there is something to fight for. The winner of the event will receive not only the main cash reward of $8,000, but also an invitation to the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference. There you can compete for one of six invites to ESL Pro League Season 17 with a prize pool of $835,000.
