BLAST Pro Series São Paulo round-robin maps revealed

21-3-2019 15:11

RFRSH Entertainment has revealed the map picks for the round-robin stage of BLAST Pro Series São Paulo.

Inferno was surprisingly banned in all vetos and Mirage was let through just once, while Dust2 was the most picked map, featuring in a third of the 15 best-of-one clashes that will be played at the Ginásio do Ibirapuera, four of them in matches involving Astralis.

Nuke will be featured three times in the round-robin stage, one of which in the match between FaZe and MIBR. It will be interesting to see how the Brazilians, who used to stay away from Nuke, will fare against top tier opposition on this map after beating AGO on it at the recent WESG Finals.

The map picks for BLAST Pro Series São Paulo are in

3 replies

but overpass is a good map imo xD

2019-03-21 17:52

I dont think nuke is bad either, i jsut dont really like to watch it :D

2019-03-21 19:08

yeah its cool to play, to watch is boring af

2019-03-21 19:09

Aatralis play 4 Dust2 wtf

6 replies

nobody is letting them have inferno or nuke and tbh if i was astralis i would have tried to get train a bunch so teams fear them on that map again.

2019-03-21 15:18

Astralis have no problem against any team on Dust2, especially like ENCE this kind of pretender

ez4Dustralis2

2019-03-21 18:06

D2 is where Astralis 16-0'd MIBR... I think they can handle it

2019-03-21 18:25

I'm more surprised about mibr nuke I literally cannot think of a single time they played the map

2019-03-21 18:31

I just looked and apparently they played it at wesg Huh

2019-03-21 18:32

Blast backstage live on twitch... They just did the vetoes... Some bts stuff with teams coming up.

Astralis 4 times Dust2 xd

at last the MIBR played 5 Mirage

2019-03-21 15:47

2019-03-21 16:56

Faze x mibr - nuke PogChamp

2019-03-21 16:59

This gonna be easy for FaZe. They used to play that map properly. I remember when they move past mousesports in Boston Major quarterfinals.

2019-03-21 17:40

that's one year ago , when niko was good , guardian was really good , and faze was working..

2019-03-21 18:42

Nice nick, btw Either way, I will be there Saturday!

2019-03-21 18:47

Lmfao astralis 4xdd2

No inferno

nice name you got there

2019-03-21 15:24

copycat blyat

2019-03-21 21:00

No it's my old steam name

2019-03-21 21:01

yeye

2019-03-21 21:02

o shit NiP got 5 / 7 different maps from map pool

ez 4 faze

btw wtf faze have to play 2 games on thier perma ban hun ?

2019-03-21 15:15

Astralis will play dust 4 times in 5 games, wow so funny .-.

they are pretty confident on all maps tho

2019-03-21 15:21

Do you think it was a coincidence? cuz i don't

2019-03-21 17:26

faze vs mibr on nuke ?? that is a joke ? :D

Unexpected at least. =0

2019-03-21 15:16

Nuke is faze's permaban too?

yes

2019-03-21 15:27

Lol worth watching then

2019-03-21 15:39

FaZe does not have perma ban, they play all 7 maps.Nuke of course is the least played map by them, but they have confidence in picking it especially against team like MIBR.

2019-03-21 16:21

Seriously? Oh God

2019-03-21 15:46

Great matchup tbh Since mibr played once against AGO( which looked really good at WESG) But the downside for mibr is that they don’t play it for more than 2 years I think

2019-03-21 16:58

So bad maps for ENCE LMAO D2 against Astralis 16-0 incoming Nuke vs NiP LOL why they could beat NiP easily in Mirage, Train, D2 or OP

ENCE wants to do bad so they can excuse -Aerial +SuNny

2019-03-21 15:44

But Aerial>SuNny

2019-03-21 16:46

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

2019-03-21 17:10

And ??? ?

2019-03-31 20:19

they not show any strats on mdl, i suppose they know what they doing, see you here in few days sir.

2019-03-21 19:26

4 Dust 2 forse Astralis wtf

Astralis to play d2 for the whole tournament? wtf ?

they're hiding strats on the other maps

2019-03-21 17:02

0 Inferno WTF

BEST MAP

2019-03-21 15:36

I remember how Inferno got boring after many times been played on London's major, but now i miss it.

2019-03-21 17:47

Will there be like a simulcast showing all 3 matches at once or highlights?

There are 3 twitch channels Blast pro series Blast pro seriesB blast pro seriesC

Now I can somewhat agree about boredom and Astralis. 4 times Dust 2 is too much.

Astralis officially a D2 only team now.

eZaF

mibr + faze + nuke = ez 16x0 mibr

thank god no inferno

faze mibr nuke xaxaxaxax

ASTRADUST

2019-03-21 15:17

DUSTRALIS sounds better imo hahaha

2019-03-21 18:12

Faze practicing nuke or what?

draken is back baby

ez4dust2

2019-03-21 15:22

Mibr played nuke against ago recently.

2019-03-21 15:23

#letsgoliquid

2019-03-21 15:26

Dustralis.

2019-03-21 15:30

Faze x Mibr nuke Pogchamp

2019-03-21 15:31

Hype is real

MIBR X FAZE NUKE OMG

2019-03-21 15:37

ez4ence

MIBR x FaZe = Nuke? Whats happening? lmao

MIBR are training hard Nuke to beat Astralis

Dustralis 2

Faze vs Lulquid on Cache is gonna be nice

Dustralis OMEGALUL

2019-03-21 15:48

ENCE - MIBR in Train dude this gonna be helluva match

Mibr is 8-0 on train xD

2019-03-21 15:53

5 replies

ence 13-1. lost to astralis

2019-03-21 15:56

I know xD but so far ENCE been playing good on the map. It doesn't mean they gonna win or something like that since we know Train is MIBR's best map, but I hope at least some good rounds and clutches and stuff. Plus, would be interesting how ENCE will perform after their major run

im not saying ence will win either, i think it will be close match and i hope so

2019-03-21 16:01

same here

Yeah.. it's gonna be a great match to watch.

2019-03-21 16:02

MiBR are gonna win don't even think about @ing me you fools! Goodnight!

2019-03-21 15:52

nuke mibr and faze OMG

2019-03-21 15:54

WHY OVERPASS?

2019-03-21 15:55

I don't get the point of playing 3 games at the same time .... It supposed to be revolutionary to not be able to see 66% of the group stage ? I could understand if the number of team/matches where big enough but this just seems like a spaceman decision...

It's bollocks.

2019-03-21 16:09

2019-03-22 07:16

4 matches of astralis in dust 2 ? AMAZIN

2019-03-21 15:59

Nice liquid. Liquid should go 5-0 Very good on dust2 cache and going againts nip on OP.

2019-03-21 16:00

But Astralis’ and mibr’s D2 ain’t bad either dude These matchups will surely be the hardest for liquid

Gona be a good event. Besides Navi we got all the best here

2019-03-21 19:18

Astralis hiding strats by beating everyone on dust2

Everyone picking Dust2 vs Astralis and then just crossing their fingers and hoping for the best.

2019-03-21 16:28

Yeah But pretty sure Astralis messed up playeing overpass against mibr Because every single time they face each other on overpass is always a close game based on clutches They should’ve taken an “easier map” for them

2019-03-21 17:04

Device #2 Dust #2 also -> device good plays on dust

2019-03-21 16:31

only mibr will not play d2 against astralis xD

2019-03-21 16:40

Astralis - Ence Dust 2 wow rip ence

2019-03-21 16:41

yeah.. but its astralis is pretty much gg anyways

2019-03-21 16:48

Normally wouldn't be so safe to expect a 6-0 from a team and a sweep in the grand finals but here we are..

2019-03-21 16:50

MIBR x Astralis on Overpass is unpredictable. Always closed matches, like on Major (MIBR lost both pistols and following rounds and 14-16).

2019-03-21 17:14

Astralis 4 dust 2, NiP 5 different maps.

2019-03-21 16:45

0 inferno NiP is the only team to play 5 different maps, wtf? Xizt still vetoing? Astralis' 4x Dust is funny as well

2019-03-21 16:57

1 cache XD

0 Inferno Kreygasm

M16R LUL

00:00 saturday, not friday

2019-03-21 17:11

No inferno and only one mirage? Cool! Net pros be saltyyy

2019-03-21 17:25

Rigged tournament against Astralis, wtf? And mibr get to play their best map against them LOL sure. Brazilian tournament...

2019-03-21 17:27

I hate this map selection. Just let there be a fucking map veto process.

2019-03-21 17:29

what do you mean?

2019-03-21 18:19

In this tournament the organizers select the maps for each game. This is unfair as some teams are playing on their worst maps (FaZe, ENCE, MiBR) and some are playing on their best (Astralis). Normally in tournaments there is a map veto process where each team can ban a map or two and select one. Why does this one have to be so fucking shitty and different.
