The BLAST Premier World Finals was a hit with the fans — especially the GG.BOOTH that hosted NAVI, Vitality, and James Banks.
Singapore played host to its biggest Counter-Strike event in the game's history. The BLAST Premier World Finals was organized from Oct. 30 to Nov. 3 at the Resorts World Convention Centre. Across the three playoffs days, the event hosted over 10,000 passionate attendees that cheered the teams on. With Asia-Pacific growing as an esports audience, the event was an important step for a more global CS2 calendar.
GG.BOOTH attracts massive interest in Singapore
The stellar matches weren't the only attraction at the event as fans had a selection of partner booths to choose from for their intermission entertainment — from Westpoint's BLAST-themed shuttle, giveaways from MyRepublic Singapore, and more.
However, the GG.BOOTH by GG.BET was one of the biggest attractions at the event. GG.BOOTH attracted thousands of fans, along with journalists and influencers. Fans could snap cool photos, create posters to support their favorite teams, and pick up exclusive merchandise, including some incredibly cool team posters.
Clappers and banners are a fundamental component for the vibe of any LAN event. And for the World Finals, GG.BET once again provided fans with the freedom to express themselves with signs at the creativity zone of the GG.BOOTH. These signs brought a massive smile whenever they appeared on broadcast.

Vitality, who made it all the way to the semifinals, also joined the fun. Fans were in for a treat as crowd-favorite stand-in, Audric "JACKZ" Jug, was also present.

BLAST Premier World Finals: A fitting send-off
As the final event of the BLAST Premier partnership series, the World Finals was quite a send-off. Predicted to be also-rans, Astralis made a deep run despite captain Casper "cadiaN" Møller's broken elbow. Meanwhile, event favorites NAVI had a disastrous showing, knocked out in dead last. Eventually, G2 and Spirit brought the circuit to a fitting culmination. The champions of Spring Finals took on the champions of the Fall Finals to decide who'd take home the lion's share of $1 million dollars.
G2's victory brought the event to a close, turning the page on a four-year long chapter that brought us some incredible moments. And for fans, the event was memorable both on and off the server. While BLAST Premier's journey may be over, fans can expect to say exciting initiatives from GG.BET continues, like the recently held Match of LeGGends between NAVI and Vitality.
