The Fantasyexpo Spring Cup 2021 kicks off shortly, where eight teams will compete for what may be their final chance to get into BLAST Premier Spring. With the winner of the event receiving $25,000 and the invite to the BLAST event.

The event starts with a group play, with DBL PONEY, Sprout, PACT & mousesports on group A, and LDLC, Endpoint, FunPlus Phoenix & Pompa on the B side. The best of one nature of the event to start with will make the initial map select phase as important as it can be, where a bad map selection can cost you the entire event, and waving goodbye to any chance of that BLAST invite.

With the stronger teams of mousesports, FunPlus Phoenix & Sprout looking very inconsistent as of late, and the competition using best of 1 matches except for the final, there's a lot of opportunity for the peoples' favorites in the tournament getting shut out fast. If that happens, then the underdogs of the likes of DBL PONEY & Pompa may have a real good chance to surprise all.

As already noted, the winner gets that fat $25,000 check and the invite to BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021. However, the other 7 teams will receive precisely nothing but experience, with 2nd to 8th position receiving exactly $0 prize money.

When it comes to the Spring Showdown, there will be 16 teams waiting in the wings to hammer down each other. Astralis, Gambit, Spirit, Liquid, Heroic, 9z, OG, Vitality, G2, FURIA, MIBR & NASR are already guaranteed a place in that contest, there will be four more teams who get through in four different events, one of them is clearly the Fantasyexpo Cup here, with the others being the LVP Unity Cup, Nordic Masters & VENN Invitational.

Here at Gamer Galax we'll do our best to cover all events in the run to the Spring Showdown, due to start in mid-April, making it the next big event in the CSGO calendar of 2021.
