CS:GO's BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 kicked off earlier this month, featuring a grand showdown between twelve top-tier contenders.

Day 8 of the tournament is set to begin with FaZe Clan facing off against OG in the finals of the double-elimination Group B bracket. The winner of this matchup will secure a slot in the BLAST Premier Spring Finals, while the loser will be sent to a single-elimination bracket to face the winner of Astralis vs NIP.

Team Vitality defeated Heroic in the Group A Finals to become the very first team to qualify for the 2023 Spring Finals. Based on the outcome of today's Group B and Group C Finals, two more teams will soon be making their way to the Spring Finals.

FaZe Clan and OG are two world-class CS:GO rosters that have the potential to outsmart any tier-1 opposition on the big stage. FaZe is the more notable team out of the two. However, with one of their veteran players, rain, being away for the birth of his child, FaZe was forced to play with a substitute. The organization also faced difficulties in procuring a substitute as their initial substitute choice was denied.

Despite the troubles that the team faced ahead of the tournament, they managed to find their form, give it their all, and reach the Group B Finals of the tournament. The talented squad of karrigan, broky, twistzzz, and ropz have been impeccable as usual, with the temporary addition of es3tag bolstering their firepower.

OG has already faced FaZe once in the Spring Groups so far, where they succumbed to the 2022 PGL Major winners by a 2-1 scoreline. Although OG underperformed in their previous encounter, with skilled players like degster, flameZ, and NEOFRAG under the leadership of nexa, they certainly have the potential to defeat
