The complete schedule for the $250,000 event that is set to take place on March 22-23 is now available.

The first two group stage rounds will be played behind closed doors while the final three rounds, BLAST Stand-off, and the grand final take place in front of the live audience at the Ginásio do Ibirapuera.

MIBR will take on ENCE in the first round

If MIBR tought they would have any change to beat AStralis and win BLAST they would never go to China. But they want money... and they will have the excuse of jetlag if they lose BLAST São Paulo.

WESG ends at march 17 and BLAST starts at march 22, 5 days, time enough for travel to Brazil and rest h

do you know usually you take 40hours+ to arrive in Sao Paulo? They will have no time to practice and heavy jetlag. If Blast was priorite whey would never go to China before. Lets hope they grab the 500k usd at least

2019-03-13 22:20

Surely they prepared for this.

2019-03-13 22:32

omg you burro

2019-03-13 23:43

Now they have time HAHAHAHAHA Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Hope they can do something, because after that last game...

2019-03-14 21:19

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO MONEY ON CHINA PROBABLY NO WIN ON SÃO PAULO And I will go to SP just to see them.

2019-03-14 21:17

Same shitty format, same shitty standoff. I was hoping Blast had something new for 2019

the worst think will be to have to listen gordox at the arena....

2019-03-13 20:28

Lol I tried to get the blastzone tickets but they sold out in 5 minutes.

They will probably arrive around Tuesday morning BR time assuming they reach finals at Wesg with a 12h jetlag. That's pretty rough

2019-03-13 20:59

Oh god please no

2019-03-13 23:09

Blast Series is a showcase more than a tournament itself. You can see by the teams they invite... The ones (excluding VP) with the highest fan base.

2019-03-13 21:08

great match-ups coming! Liquid vs Astralis etc.

2019-03-13 20:30

sad that a tournament as well organised as blast just keep on having the same shitty format and ALWAYS have the same invited team, even when some of them clearly dont deserve an invite

TBH it's well organized because it's the smallest and cheapest LAN tournament atm just 2 days long with only 1 of them with a crowd + no qualifiers + the worst format in the scene by a mile. Blast is smart by holding this events where the crowd is mad passionate about cs and make the tournament look decent (Turkey, Denmark, Brazil, Portugal) otherwise they wouldnt get as much respect by the community

MIBR vs ENCE will be cool as fuck!

how the fuck do they decide which games will be in the arena if its three games all at once

2019-03-13 20:33

" which games will be in the arena" wtf, all of them wil be at the arena. " three games all at once" problably they'll show 3 games at once.

2019-03-13 20:38

They only broadcast one game in the arena at once

2019-03-13 23:50

Assuming nothing changes from the previous Blast Pros, all of them will be played in the arena at the same time, but only one will be broadcasted at the same time.

2019-03-14 04:10

oh, fair enough ty

2019-03-14 14:11

Very weak amount of money tho.....

2019-03-14 00:09

250k may not be as big of a deal in 2019, but it's still a large amount for money for a 2-day tourney.

2019-03-14 04:09

2 days? Really? That makes more sense now

2019-03-14 05:55

yep March 22-23. I always love BLAST tourneys. They're not as time consuming as your mainstream tournament.
