Natus Vincere and Astralis first BLAST Pro Series Miami invites

14-2-2019 16:17

RFRSH Entertainment has announced its first two invites for BLAST Pro Series Miami, Natus Vincere and Astralis.

The BLAST Pro Series circuit will land in North America for the first time with an event in Miami, which will take place at the Watsco Center on April 12-13.

The two first teams confirmed by the organizers, RFRSH Entertainment, are the TO's own Astralis, the #1 ranked team in the world, and Natus Vincere, currently #3.

Na`Vi and Astralis are the two first confirmed teams to play in Miami

The $250,000 event will have six teams face-off over two days, with the aforementioned invited teams already having claimed the $125,000 grand prize before, Astralis in Istanbul and Lisbon, and Natus Vincere in Copenhagen.

BLAST Pro Series Miami will be the second event put together by RFRSH this year and will be sandwiched between BLAST Pro Series Sao Paulo, which is set to take place in late March, and BLAST Pro Series Madrid, which will follow in May.

With these two invites, the team list is as follows:

Astralis

Invite #3

Invite #5

Natus Vincere

Invite #4

Invite #6

2019-02-16 14:27

Pretend to be baited to bait someone is like fighting for peace or fucking for virginity. Its pointless and stupid 😉

Wow

Now for FaZe, mibr, NiP and Cloud9 to be the last invites

6 replies

If FaZe go i will go

dont you mean liquid instead of cloud9 and then maybe nrg instead of NIP, so they have 2 NA teams in a NA tournament.

No, that makes too much sense. This is Blast, so logic is thrown out the window

2019-02-14 23:23

Liquid already said they won’t attend any blast tourneys, apparently had something to do with the org disputing over something

2019-02-15 05:31

interesting, i did not read about that. something you have info/link on?

2019-02-15 16:52

-nip +nrg

2019-02-14 16:25

>NA Tournament >no Liquid

4 invites left.

2019-02-14 16:36

yeet?

BLAST always invite the same f*kin teams Renew things clowns ...

5 replies

NRG, Vitality, a chinese team, etc here are different yet interesting teams you could invite OMG

2019-02-14 16:21

Vitality? Chinese teams seem to show good game but they are underdogs vs current top5

2019-02-14 16:28

BLAST have invited teams like NiP (or even VP if i remember correctly) even when they were far from top 5. So yeah a Vitality with the french s1mple rising lately can bring some hype. And agree, for chinese teams it was a bit hard to predict that they would be that strong at this Major, still isn't too late to invite either TyLoo or Vici though ...

2019-02-14 16:35

Thanks for not going rage mode. You have a point. Well... Looks like they don't really care who to invite, the most important thing is to advertise the sponsors, even tho I enjoyed the last Blast that was in Lisbon. The more teams you invite - the more money you have to invest.

2019-02-14 16:44

Astralis will always be invited to blast pro series since blast director was astralis founder/manager.

2019-02-14 17:05

NRG, North, MIBR, ENCE.

NO Chance for NaVi

Nrg and Luquid next?

invite faze pls

I'll go if they go, its like a 8 hour drive but worth

2019-02-14 16:24

it’s like a 30 minute drive for me 😎

2019-02-14 16:40

I live In jacksonville, but it would be worth it

2019-02-14 16:42

Yeah i live in Kendall i might go

Hey, events dont happy In florida that often

Ik dude Pretty sure it’s the first “tier 1/2” CSGO tourney Live in Orlando Definitely going

2019-02-14 17:00

Invite Liquid finally

2019-02-14 16:22

BLAST sucks ass

BLAST = full sellout, always invites teams like NaVi, NiP, C9 and such because big fanbases ... I understand it helps the audience, but variety is nice

hopefully they dont get robbed or beat up down there

navi wasted invite

mibr wasted invite

expected from shit tournament organizer. rfrsh sucks and their tournament format blows. mibr cloud9 faze nip incoming. because blast and shit format and shit invites based off of popularity of the orgs. these shit tournaments should be exempt from hltv rankings as they skew points in favor of the same teams that attend it each time.
