Less than two weeks are left before the start of the last major tournament of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive professional season - Blast Premier World Final 2021. This championship will feature the best teams in the world according to Blast, who have been selected for the tournament all year. Among them are both the best team in the world at the moment, as well as clubs that have shone at other points in the season. The championship is extremely important, because the champion of this tournament will close the season. The organizer of the tournament has already held the draw and announced the opening matches of the tournament. What matches will open the tournament? Which teams will take part in the tournament?

List of matches
1. "Natus Vincere" - "Team Liquid".
The clash of the best team in the world and the main dark horse of the tournament in the very first match of the tournament. "Liquid" is already considered a "dead" team, because the rumors, which have already been confirmed by the players of the roster, indicate that the team no longer exists, and it will be officially disbanded at the end of the year. However, this news seemed to have removed the shackles from the players. The team immediately began to show much better results and surprise their fans. At the same time, it cannot be said that the club is lucky, the team really shows an extremely high level of play in recent tournaments. And if "Liquid" gather and prepare, they can surprise the audience once again. However, NaVi will be very difficult to stop. The team finished two tournaments in a row undefeated and is not going to stop there. The undisputed favorite of this match is "NaVi", and it is unlikely that "Liquid" will have a chance to win this match.
2. "Gambit" - "Heroic".
The most interesting match of the first day of the tournament. Gambit have not performed at such a high level for a long time, because the team missed Blast Premier Fall Final 2021, and IEM Winter 2021 cannot be equated with Blast Premier World Final. And now we can say that the CIS team is in decline, because the current form is very different from the one that was at the beginning of the season. At the same time, Heroic is in a similar situation. If at Blast Premier Fall Final 2021 the Danish team showed a decent result, taking 4th place, then at IEM Winter the team lost two matches in a row and left the tournament without a win. Therefore, it is very difficult to determine the favorite in this match, because it is not clear what form the teams are in.
3. "G2" - "NIP".
"Ninjas in Pajamas" failed the Blast Premier Fall Final, leaving the tournament without a win. However, at IEM Winter they returned and will play against "G2" in the semi-finals. This semi-final will take place this week, and it can be called a match rehearsal before the Blast Premier World Final. It will be possible to judge this confrontation after the end of IEM Winter, however, we can first say that G2 look much stronger and show excellent results, so the French are the favorite in this confrontation.
4. "Vitality" - "Astralis".
About "Vitality" there are the same rumors as about "Liquid". The team is already dead, but even in this state, the French club managed to reach the Blast Premier Fall Final, losing only to NaVi. At the same time, Astralis showed an incredible result in the new line-up, even without training. Therefore, Astralis can be considered the nominal favorite, but the match will be very close.
