Evil Geniuses and Complexity Gaming emerged as the champions of the BLAST Premier Spring Finals CS:GO tournament<\/a> on Sunday, which earned them a direct invite to the US $1.5 million BLAST Premier Global Final 2020.<\/p>\n

The BLAST Premier Spring initially began as a LAN tournament, but it transitioned to online play due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Alongside the change of format, the event was also split into two regions – Europe and North America – in a bid to avoid any connectivity issues what would occur when teams from different regions faced off.<\/p>\n

Evil Geniuses earned their spot in the finals tournament through the BLAST Premier American Showdown, where they topped a group containing Triumph, Cloud9 and 100 Thieves. Peter “stanislaw” Jarguz and his crew lost to MiBR 1-2 in the decider, yet they managed to finish third thanks to a phenomenal 2-0 win against Gen.G in the play-in match.<\/p>\n

That result earned Evil Geniuses a spot at the BLAST Premier Spring 2020 American Finals, where they met with Team Liquid, FURIA Esports and MiBR. EG defeated Liquid in the opening match of the competition with a 2-1 reverse sweep but were again outmatched by MiBR, who reversed EG with a 19-16 overtime win on Dust II.<\/p>\n

However, stanislaw and his men kept at it and edged past FURIA 2-1 in the lower bracket finals set up a rematch with MiBR in the grand finals. EG grabbed the lead with a 16-14 win on Dust II and sealed the deal 19-15 in overtime on Inferno to claim $160,000 in tournament winnings and a ticket for the BLAST Premier Global Final.<\/p>\n
