Format:
The format of the BLAST Series has changed a lot compared to the previous year. Instead of a short weekend tournament, BLAST Premier is now a longer league, working towards the big Global Final.

In the regular season, the twelve participating teams divide into three groups and play them out in GSL format. All matches are best-of-three and the first two from each group qualify for the Spring Finals. Third and fourth place from each group will have another chance to qualify for the Spring Finals via the Spring Showdown.

Ten teams will then take part in the Spring Showdown to secure one of two tickets to the Spring Finals. In the two groups of five, each team will play a best-of-one series against each other. The last team in the group will be eliminated and the remaining four teams will be seeded in the two playoff brackets depending on their performance within their group. The group winners even advance to the final. The elimination matches will then be played again in best-of-three mode.

In the Spring Finals, the teams then play for $750,000 and a place in the Global Finals. The details of the Spring Finals are not yet known except for the venue Moscow.
