Na`Vi round off BLAST Pro Series Lisbon team list

16-11-2018 10:14

The champions from the Copenhagen stop on the BLAST Pro circuit will also be present in the Portuguese capital, RFRSH have announced.

Natus Vincere will travel to Lisbon to fight for a chance to win another BLAST Pro event, set to take place on December 14-15 in the Altice Arena and feature a $250,000 prize pool.

Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev and co. are the defending champions in the event series after they won BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen by beating Ninjas in Pyjamas 2-0 in the final, the 21-year-old superstar also claiming the MVP medal in the Danish capital.

s1mple and Na`Vi will attempt to lift the BLAST trophy again in Lisbon

Natus Vincere couldn't carry over their victory to IEM Chicago, as they bombed out of the group stage with losses to eUnited and BIG. Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko' men will come back to Denmark to play the ESL Pro League Season 8 Finals in Odense before going to Portugal to defend their title at BLAST Pro Series.

With the CIS side inbound, the Lisbon tournament will feature the same six teams who did battle in Copenhagen in early November. The full team list looks as follows:

MIBR

s1mple MVP ez for navi

for a chill 2 day 6 team event with 250k while it impacts your rankings(navi got a shit ton of points for winning 3 bo1s and a bo3) hell ye. also id feel pretty confident in bo1s against even astralis and there is a chance they also wont make it to finals. they would def said yes.

2018-11-16 11:32

4 replies

impact ranking :DDD you think teams care about hltv rankings that much LUL? also, for TL it is flying to other continent with 5-6-7 hours time difference, so i dont think they are eager to participate. Especially, when it takes place after EPL finals which are usually last event before xmas/new year

To be fair, liquid would already be in Europe for EPL and could probably just bootcamp at the rfrsh offices a few days so I wouldn't say that the flight is the problem.

2018-11-16 12:03

+1.

2018-11-16 19:12

last blast was the same ? like actually same 6 teams is a bit suspicious its free money anyway, and u just play bo1 and 1 final thats it

2018-11-16 11:54

imagine last blast invitation for TL: 1) live in US 2) go to EU for blast 3) get jetlagged cuz not only you are changing timezone but going from west to east which is always harder than vice versa 4) after blast immediately go back to US to play IEM 5) get super jetlagged and tilted

2018-11-16 12:02

And MIBR?

2018-11-16 12:27

2 replies

They obviously like to be jetlagged etc. - those are their main excuses, after all.

2018-11-16 12:33

Understand

2018-11-16 12:40

They have #1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and cloud9. Shit tournament? I think no, moron. :)

2018-11-16 11:26

True, why always the same teams? It's inflating the rating and boring on top of that. Hltv should keep an eye on that.

2018-11-16 13:09

yeah...they shud remove c9 or nip and add liquid

2018-11-16 16:31

i guess having the two most popular csgo teams in fanbase+brand is the reason. they attract audience. same with blast istanbul when they invited spacesoldiers. +mibr. still if they are going for brand value they can still do a 2 day 8 team event without that bulsshit bo1 format. even the old lose 2 bo1s get elimiinated major format was better than this.

2018-11-16 16:37

2018-11-16 16:56

Portugal best country xD

The showmatch is 1vs1 duels, 16-0 is unlike to happen xD. And cmon is just for fun, who cares about the result?

Nobody’s talking about Movistar here... and yes Giants currently suck. I am happy Navi is coming.

2018-11-16 14:27

I'm not talking about spanish cs bro. What does all Mixwell have to see in this reply? I'm only saying that if Giants played against teams like Astralis, Navi etc, they would get rapped.

2018-11-16 15:01

u talk about giants, i can talk about movi lel

2018-11-16 20:25

Why? It makes no sense. I was replying a boy that was talking about Giants. Movistar is not here, why can you talk about Movistar?

2018-11-16 20:31

Because he is a fanboy thas why movistar was not even in the conversation to start with

inviting a tier3 team LMAO

Scammed

Why MIBR got invited???? Absolute astounding utter miracle of a mystery

2018-11-16 10:28

bcz they speak portuguese and the event is in portugal . and they have a huge fanbase from portugal :)

Still a mystery

mibr wasted spot lmao

2018-11-16 10:29

>Invite only. >Invite tier3. >Only invite same teams. >Fun format. Nice tier1 tournament btw.

2018-11-16 10:32

+666

2018-11-16 13:19

Invite only yes, Invite tier 3 no. They only invite tier 1 dumbass Only invite same teams. Yes because they wont invite stupid sucky teams who are participating in other tournaments at the time... Think with your brain not your ass Yes the format is shit, it makes it harder for especially Astralis since they work on Teamwork, Strats and fakes. While other teams like FaZe and Navi works on running and shooting everyone..

2018-11-20 07:58

same teams again

why is tier 3 mibr invited?

2018-11-16 10:33

Should have been mouz

2018-11-16 10:34

Tier 5 Format

giants need automatic invite come on men

what they need is practice. Getting raped in a t1 tournament hardly counts as practice

2018-11-16 10:45

Yeah but if you are going to do tournament in portugal might as well have portuguese qualifier to get viewers in

5 replies

MIBR is enough for that I'd say

I arent think that

2018-11-16 10:47

MIBR has a huge fanbase here :)

2018-11-16 12:08

You mean they're enough for getting raped in a t1 tournament? Again? :)

2018-11-16 12:35

they'll get hyped by pt fans so they might do some damage

2018-11-17 02:35

Imagine inviting cloud9 and mibr over liquid...

2018-11-16 10:36

same teams same format not gonna bother watching

0.01% brain working

2018-11-16 17:48

Can you enlighten us with a list of t1 teams?

2018-11-16 18:15

2018-11-16 11:36

+1, sad because blast are good at getting huge arena but fuck it all up with this shit format and team invites (+only 6 teams)

Please go Navi

2018-11-16 11:40

ez money for Astralis device mvp

2018-11-16 11:44

Do navi have any chances to win this one?

2018-11-16 12:00

2018-11-16 12:49

BLAST events are fucking cancer

2018-11-16 11:47

2018-11-16 12:04

maybe you, yes. i'm 25 kiddo.

2018-11-16 12:28

shit tournament shit format aint gonna watch it

No mouz, no Liquid.... why dont extend to 8 teams if you have to invite C9 everytime

2018-11-16 12:09

Why C9 !!!!! WTF

2018-11-16 12:18

wow the exact same invites as the old blast tournaments and the exact same shit format, so exciting!!!!

2018-11-16 12:21

I swear if they keep on inviting MIBR, C9 and NIP to the next blast tournaments I will make a petiton for their brain to be checked out

2018-11-16 12:25

Nip and Mibr is fine. Cuz they have a lot of fans especially Nip. But inviting Cloud9 instead of Liquid or mousesports is stupid.

2018-11-16 12:47

no nip and mibr are much worse than mousesports and liquid

2018-11-16 13:04

Why mousesports instead of mibr? How are they any better? For me, they are same level...

2018-11-16 18:18

mibr cant win shit

2018-11-16 18:24

doing the invites because of fanbase isnt even close to being fine competitive wise

2018-11-16 13:29

Mibr #6 Nip #7

2018-11-16 18:39

Could make a case for NIP but MIBR is dogshit an you know it, only there because they attend tier 3 tournaments to boost their stats

2018-11-16 19:38

Well i dont agree with you. In some matches they choke so hard thats true. But they were almost beating Astralis at Blast Pro Series Istanbul. I think they are just bad at groupstages.

2018-11-16 20:41

thats bullshit, firstly they made it there because the blast format is terrible and "almost beating" someone is a terrible argument, 1 bo doesnt make them good especially when theyve shown terrible CS all year long

2018-11-16 21:35

"they were almost beating Astralis"

2018-11-16 21:36

? reply need to have actual content

2018-11-16 21:37

Wow so unexpected

Expected, now remove cloud9 then invite anyteam

2018-11-16 12:43

Na`Vi GODS

Does blast have something againts liquid????

2018-11-16 13:32
