This garden city is about to be transformed into headshot central come end-October - and some will even get to watch.

The world's top Counter-Strike teams and players will be coming to Singapore for the Blast Premier World Final 2024 taking place at Resorts World Convention Centre in Sentosa from Oct 30 till Nov 3, according to a press release on Monday (Sep 2).

Eight teams will be vying for the $1 million prize pool and the World Final trophy - these teams include the top-ranked Natus Vincere, Team Vitality, G2 Esports, Team Spirit and FaZe Clan, with the remaining three to be confirmed by the end of September.

At present, this likely means that Singapore will see Counter-Strike virtuosos Danil "donk" Kryshkovets from Russia, Justinas "jL" Lekavičius from Lithuania and Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut from France take the stage to battle it out for the top spot in the competition. 

"We're really excited to go to Singapore next month and play against the best Counter-Strike teams," Team Vitality's Mathieu said in the press release.
