Tournament organizer BLAST has released information on where the 2022 final round will be held. As such, the BLAST Premier World Final 2022 will take place in Abu Dhabi in mid-December. The prize pool for which the teams will compete will reach 1 million dollars. The matches will be held at «Etihad Arena», a stadium with a capacity of more than 15,000 people.
BLAST has also announced a three-year partnership with local AD Gaming, which means it will host more events in the country in the future. BLAST thus returns to the Middle East more than two years after the BLAST Pro Series Global Final held in Bahrain in 2019.
The tournament, which will last five days, will feature eight teams from the top of the world rankings. Invitations go to the two winners of BLAST regular season tournaments, EPL tournaments and the 2022 majors. In addition, some slots are distributed according to BLAST rankings.
It is already known that BLAST Premier World Final 2022 will feature NAVI, who won BLAST Premier Spring Final, and FaZe, who took first place at PGL Major and EPL Season 15. Due to the fact that FaZe won two tournaments at once, according to the results of which the selection is made, three slots will be allocated according to the team's position in the BLAST ranking, instead of two, as usual.
