The teams who will take part in the closed qualifier, which will be played on August 10-11 in a double-elimination bracket, are:

The two best teams from the CIS closed qualifier will advance to the Play-In match, played on the first day of BLAST Pro Series Moscow, awarding the winning side a spot in the main tournament.

I know this is the qualifier for the qualifier. It makes no difference to my original statement of this particular Blast lacking severely in "star power", which was Blast's #1 priority since its beginning.

? This Blast will be funny. New teams instead of the old "recycle" bs with the standard teams. Now we get to see Vitality, Ence & the 2 CIS teams.

Since it's such an exclusive event with only 6 teams, 3 "meh" teams are way too many. I'm not saying I'm not gonna watch it, and I'm not saying it will be a shit event in terms of level of competitiveness, I said that Blast are not getting the top billers to join this one.
