Four teams invited to BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen

23-8-2018 16:16

MIBR, Cloud9, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and FaZe have been confirmed to attend 2018's second BLAST Pro Series stop in Copenhagen.

The quartet will join Astralis at the $250,000 tournament, as the Danish heavyweights were revealed as the first team at the time of the announcement of BLAST's second Pro Series stop in 2018.

Four out of the five teams confirmed at the Copenhagen event will also travel to Istanbul, Turkey, for BLAST's first tournament this year in late September.

After placing third last year, FaZe will once again be in attendance at BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen this November

With the addition of the reigning champions MIBR, as well as Cloud9, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and FaZe to the team list, only one team remains to be revealed. The team list currently looks as follows:

TBA

BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen is set to return to Denmark's capital city's Royal Arena on November 2-3, with a part of the group stage and the grand final played on stage in front of live audience on the second day.

Interesting invites but mibr and C9 dont deserve to be invited imo. mibr is just overrated and dont have any results at all in 2018 and C9 didnt have any results after their major fluke. Teams like Navi,Liquid or BIG are 10x better than mibr and C9. TL;DR: mibr and C9 wasted spots, invite Navi,Liquid or BIG instead.

2018-08-23 18:32

That is exactly the point he made

2018-08-24 12:10

That’s what I’m saying. They are inviting bad teams to make sure astralis gets the ez win

2018-08-24 18:13

shit

2018-08-25 05:31

Why dont they invite Liquid then? Astralis owns them. Would be the easiest win.

2018-08-26 10:14

You do have a point lul

2018-08-26 14:31

Youre right.

giving free tournament win in cph to astralis is 200 iq

2018-08-23 16:21

Right

> Four out of the five teams confirmed at the Copenhagen event will also travel to Istanbul, Turkey, for BLAST's first tournament this year in late September. winky face, winky face, aubergine, thumb-up, birthday cake.

Mibr was invited because the core 3 br players had won the event in 2017

it should not count because the team isnt even the same anymore

2018-08-23 16:34

Yeh but that's how the system works

2018-08-23 16:58

Bad trolling is bad trolling. Being reigning champ counts always.

2018-08-23 17:01

Your fucking delusional kiddo

2018-08-25 01:46

and why c9?

2018-08-23 16:49

Idk about them good question

2018-08-23 16:57

That fuck??? Of course the former champions of the event is invited?

Other teams could have declined an invite you know? And that said, BIG is overrated as fuck too. They've had one good result with this lineup, no way to say if that wasn't just a fluke as well yet.

2018-08-23 16:44

one good result = 1 more good result than mibr

2018-08-23 16:47

Never said that mibr is a good team.

2018-08-23 16:50

BIG LOL

2018-08-23 18:36

Navi or Liquid ok, but why BIG ? The are having one good event a year and you count them as better than MIBR ?

7 replies

they are better than mibr, they never lost to SK/mibr

2018-08-23 16:55

What a argument lmfao

2018-08-23 17:09

its true no??

Y it is, but did big won anything last year? Why would big get invited? Beating t2 teams? Rofl

2018-08-23 17:10

who cares for 2017 lmao, they have better results in 2018 than mibr

2018-08-23 17:13

True, but at least mibr get the money of the shity tourneys like xl and cyberleague 😂

2018-08-23 17:17

Lmao I agree with overything but Big is overrated as fuck too and NIP dont deserve the invite too

2018-08-23 16:51

They are the current champions. You don't have to be too smart to understand this invite.

2018-08-23 17:05

2018-08-23 17:23

About MIBR: 1 - They have won the last event 2 - They have the best player in the world, everybody wants to see him playing 3 - When you have your own event, you choose who you want to invite.

2018-08-23 17:37

u are so hater of mibr in that point? He brazilian people still give audiance when mibr plays. It not matter of results, its all about $$$$ So swallow that and relax ;)

2018-08-23 17:41

I know that, there is nothing to swallow. Delusional fans are everywhere and make them money, thats why VP still exists.

2018-08-23 17:44

mibr should be invited man, even if they are not having the best year so far. They won the last Blast Pro and they have a lot of potencial to winning this tournment, after the coach's announcement. Liquid and NaVi are playing by far better BUT, if you mix both things that I said ealier + brazilian audiance, then you have the reason why they did not invited Liquid for example. They only thing is that they could have replaced C9 by Liquid, much better.

2018-08-24 00:51

Liquid NiP Astralis Na’Vi fnatic FaZe Would’ve been good

2018-08-23 18:01

-fnatic +OpTic -Na'Vi +North . No cis at Copenhagen last year so no CIS in this year

2018-08-23 20:56

but fnatic > OpTic and North combined.

2018-08-24 01:39

Nah ok so + just OnpTic

2018-08-24 12:19

Well could be

2018-08-24 19:24

Well hltv would be great if we will ban all VP brainless haters

2018-08-24 19:38

True i love VP

2018-08-24 22:39

cry

2018-08-23 19:06

Yeah .. Mouz , Liquid , Navi , BIG even NRG deserved to attend instead

2018-08-23 19:37

i think NaVi Liquid BiG and North would be great instead of them BiG is a bit biased but if they stay on that level and don't drop off completely like after krakow they are a good team and also North cuz i like them and its in denmark

2018-08-23 19:51

BIG > MiBR and C9 ?!?! wtfff they only had one good tournament. And MIBR probably was invited cuz they won last Blast Pro.

2018-08-23 19:57

Even Pompa would be better and then Isamu could finally fix his org

2018-08-23 20:54

They won last blast pro series, so it's basically for that reason that they were invited

2018-08-23 21:35

So...I guess your objective is to comment on every post related to MiBr just to talk sh*t about them... Don't worry. In the end of 2019, they'll be at the top again.

2018-08-24 13:18

Flag checks out

2018-09-12 10:43

2018-09-12 10:36

Ez for NiP

2018-08-23 16:17

2018-08-23 16:25

++++1

2018-08-23 18:26

Wanted to see a better team list. A NaVi or Fnatic as the last invite would help...

They wont invite NAVI as some retards from this tournament dont like zeus and co, as for fnatic they never got invite to blast too and we always get the same bs invite (nip,c9 and sk always fakin there even tho theyre shit when the invite comes)

Yeah I know, that's what's annoying... I feel like it could've been a battle between the best, but they go for "fan favourites" instead... I mean, imagine an event with NaVi, Astralis, FaZe, Mouz, Liquid and Fnatic. Stacked.

we had eleague premier

2018-08-23 17:42

I mean with the Blast theme, the Blast Format. It's unique and it would be incredible seeing all of these teams on stage at the same time in front of 12k people...

2018-08-23 18:08

C9 wasted spot

ez astralis

tier2

-cloud9 +liquid +navi then tier1

2018-08-23 16:19

n1ce

nip wasted spot

c9 totally wasted spot tbh

2 wasted spots rip

wasted spot on NA teams

invite 3 dead teams n1

ez for tier4 team MIBR.

Boring event. always same teams.

start watching tier 2-5 event's then

2018-08-24 22:50

vp last invited

omg c9 ...................

Add Na'Vi and it will be a nice tournament

Why not liquid instead of c9?

where mouz?

probably north or optic for the last spot, whoever does better at the major.

Should be liquid not c9

Invites c9 and nip but don't navi

ez mibr

Nip? C9? Mibr??? Where is Navi? Where is mouz? Where is Liquid?? wtf

They will play ESL One NY

2018-08-23 18:20

Thats BLAST Pro Istanbul

2018-08-23 18:45

Let's go one full day delay!

mibr? c9? nip?

Theyre only inviting these tier 2 team to make it an easy win for astralis, so the danish fans come again next time due to having a good experience.

2018-08-23 16:23

what a mediocre lineup so far

2018-08-23 16:24

Mibr won’t the last blast in Denmark, so ofc they would get invited

Nice

2018-08-23 16:26

LoL! Why C9? Why NiP? Why MIBR? Why not NaVi? Why not mousesports? Why not Liquid? WHY?????????

MIBR core won last year = free invite

2018-08-23 16:29

Well, ok! It's possible

for that they got invited to istambul blast

2018-08-23 16:36

U win IEM Sydney and will therefor get invite to IEM sydney the following year, not necessarily IEM Katowice. Thats how it usually works and im sure thats how it works for Blast Pro

2018-08-23 16:41

nip iem oakland twice and got invited to katowice both times and not invited to chicago. fnatic won katowise twice in 2015 and 2016 but didn't got invited to 2017.

2018-08-23 16:43

Yeah, its probably just me rambling and spreading fake news ;)

no one knows that LOL C9

2018-08-23 16:31

Tournament for librarians

2018-08-23 16:27

WHY C9 FFS

Cloud9 -> OMEGALUL DEAD TEAM NiP -> OMEGALUL DEAD TEAM MIBR -> OMEGALUL DEAD TEAM

2018-08-23 16:32

invite ence

LMAO INVITING NIP MIBR AND C9 BUT NOT NAVI MOUZ AND FNATIC, im done with esl invite SO BS

How do you not know that BPS didnt ask NaVi / Mouz & Fnatic? They obv invited NIP and FaZe (lots of Swedish FaZe fans, because of Olof) because its close for Swedes to just drive over the bridge with car.

Every Blast tournaments so far had BS invites so Im pretty sure they didnt even ask these teams to come, I dont know how they reflect about their invite but those are always such a joke, btw sk/mibr gets invited to every single blast event even when theyre bad so dont tell me these invite arent BS

U have literally 3 samples and only one of those is an actual finished event. So how could u possibly know that it isn't just some teams who just doesn't like the entertainment based format?

2018-08-23 21:00

budget event, c9, nip and mibr xD

2018-08-23 16:37

C9 LUL

OH NICE! Now invite Liquid and it will be a nice event!

> Swedish CS Fan > NiP exists > Fnatic exists > Supports MiBr

2018-09-12 10:54

> UK CS Fan > CAZ eSports exists > Epsilon Esports exists > Supports FaZe

2018-09-12 12:57

will MIBR ever have to actually qualify for an event? come on

3 wasted spot nip,c9, mibr

mibr cloud 9 both dead teams, nice event blast

BlastPro makes the best tournament, last year was awsome, the stage was lookin really good, and the fans were loud so all in all best tournament in CS for me, should be a major in some time have to be! pls valve make this CS event a Major.

2018-08-23 16:53

I heard there were some online problems but the live experience was definitely great. And yeah, it'd be epic with a BPS major. Mostly because i think a danish major is long overdue and BPS would definitely bring that. But BPS haven't been tested with a proper format yet which i dont expect them to be anytime soon. Remember, their tournaments is made to entertain, not to find the best team.

2018-08-23 21:07

North or Heroic maybe

and no Thorin entertaining 7 year old "banter". Best event

ezz MIBR

2018-08-23 17:07

All of them are wasted spots though.

2018-08-23 17:22

Why no host team, SS?

c9 what a joke

2018-08-23 17:26

How do you invite Clown 9 over TL? 💙

2018-08-23 17:31

The teams should be the real top 6 Astralis NaVi Faze Liquid Mouz Fnatic

This^

2018-08-23 17:45

They will be playing ESL One NY

2018-08-23 18:21

basically just the same teams as istanbul lol, almost a bit fishy that the same teams get invited every time like nip even though they are ranked 14 atm

2018-08-23 17:43
