The organizers of BLAST Open Spring 2025 have presented the division of teams into groups and the schedule of the first matches of the tournament. The information is available on the official website of the tournament operator.
BLAST Open Spring 2025 will start on March 19. The tournament will feature 16 teams that will first play the group stage at BLAST Studios (Copenhagen), and then the best six teams will go to MEO Arena (Lisbon), where the playoffs will take place. The prize fund of the competition is $400,000.
The competition will be held in the format of double-elimination GSL groups, where eight teams in each group will play for three places in the playoffs. The group winners will go straight to the semifinals, while the runners-up will get a slot in the quarterfinals (high seed) and the third place will get a slot in the quarterfinals (low seed). All group stage matches will be BO3, while the playoffs will be held in a single-elimination format with BO3 quarterfinal and semifinal matches. The grand final will be BO5.

What else is interesting at BLAST Open Spring 2025
Vitality vs. Astralis rematch. This confrontation will be one of the most anticipated matches of the group stage, as both teams have a long history of rivalry.
Mongolian derby - The MongolZ vs. ATOX . The best team in Asia will play against their compatriots, who have been impressing with their progress recently.
Mouz vs Falcons - two teams that are constantly striving to gain a foothold in the world's top, will open the competition in Group A, and considering that they recently played in the PGL Cluj-Napoca final, we can expect a fierce confrontation.
The BLAST Open Spring 2025 will be an important test for all participants before the BLAST Premier Spring Final, which will take place later this year. Will NAVI make it to the final stage of the tournament? We will find out very soon.
