Where can you watch the BLAST Premier World Final 2022?
The BLAST Premier World Final 2022 will start soon, but where can you watch its matches? The official broadcast will be on the main BLAST channel. You can find the link to it below. The studio doesn't have Russian-speaking commentators, so it will give rights to broadcast their tournaments to third-party studios.
All past BLAST tournaments were commented on in Russian by Igor "Sl4M" Sopov on his channel, the link to which is below. However, there have been rumors that BLAST may transfer the broadcasting rights to a popular streamer Evelone, and the negotiations are underway. Whether it will happen is yet unknown, so we should expect that Sl4M will be a commentator.

Who is the main favorite of the BLAST Premier World Final 2022?
The main favorite is the European team that plays for FaZe. The team failed at the last major in Rio, which showed that the team was in bad shape. But at the last LAN tournament, FaZe played wonderfully, although it lost to Heroic in the finals. Don't forget that Heroic played at home and needed this victory, otherwise, it wouldn't have advanced to the Premier World Final 2022. The second favorite is the current major winner — Outsiders.
What are the predictions for the BLAST Premier World Final 2022?
Distinguishing a clear favorite is impossible since four teams occupy the top four places in the world rankings. Obviously, it will be these teams that will show good results. You should also watch Liquid and Vitality, which demonstrates fantastic games from time to time. Other top teams are also quite interesting. These are the odds for possible winners:
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| FaZe | 3.80 |
| Outsiders | 4.24 |
| Natus Vincere | 4.74 |
| Heroic | 4.74 |

Will NaVi play at the BLAST Premier World Final 2022?
Natus Vincere will take part in the Premier World Final 2022. After Kirill "Boombl4" Mikhaylov quit, the Ukrainian team is not doing well. Natus Vincere now wins much less often, but we cannot discount its chances of a successful performance at the tournament.
Moreover, there have been problems with sdy, who can be replaced by an academy player nicknamed nipl.
Natus Vincere is the only Ukrainian team at the Premier World Final 2022 and one of the two teams from Eastern Europe (the second is Outsiders).
