BLAST Spring Finals 2024 was a huge hit with fans, especially the GG.BOOTH, which saw appearances for ZywOo, Apex, and the rest of the Team Vitality team.
Thousands of Counter-Strike 2 fans descended on the OVO Wembley Arena in London, with the arena packed out. It was the biggest Counter-Strike event held in the United Kingdom since the FACEIT Major six years ago in 2018. Needless to say, the U.K. has been dying for a big event in the country, especially given the well-established community for the franchise.
18,000 spectators attended the event from June 14 to 16, with 8,000 attendees in the arena for the Grand Finals between Natus Vincere and Team Spirit.
Fan activations draw huge interest in OVO Wembley Arena
CS2 fans attending the event had a selection of on-site activations to keep themselves busy between maps. From making slurping sounds at the Pot Noodle area to trying to crack a code for a free PC with Revolut.
However, the GG.BOOTH by GG.BET was one of the main attractions. The GG.BOOTH attracted fans, journalist, and influencers, gifting them all the chance to pick up free merchandise, including exclusive items.
Our personal favorite was the GG.BET x Team Vitality & Navi flags, which could be seen worn by fans throughout the playoffs. The creative zone of the GG.BOOTH also gave fans a chance to make their own personalized signs, many of which brought a smile or a chuckle when they appeared on broadcast.
