BLAST Premier Fall combined into one region; BIG, FURIA replace 100 Thieves, Liquid in first stage

14-10-2020 16:00

The organizers confirmed that the Fall season will be played online in one, combined region and revealed that BIG and FURIA will replace 100 Thieves and Liquid in the "Series" stage.

100 Thieves are excluded from the event after the United States-based side, one of BLAST's twelve long-term partner organizations, announced its exit from CS:GO, which will come into effect at the conclusion of IEM New York later this week.

Meanwhile, unlike Evil Geniuses who will make two separate trips to Europe to take part in the entire BLAST Premier season as well as in the North American division of IEM Beijing, Liquid will skip the first stage and will only begin their campaign in the Fall season in the Showdown tournament, which will run from November 23-29.

BLAST Premier Fall is set to bring Europe and North America back together

BLAST's decision to de-regionalize the first two stages of the Fall season comes as little surprise after HLTV.org reported earlier this month that several North American teams were deciding on making a trip to Europe for the end of the 2020 season, with the Denmark-based organizer being one of the main driving forces behind the plan.

The move will make BLAST Premier Fall Series the first tournament to pit multiple of North America's best teams up against the brunt of European competition since the coronavirus pandemic struck in March and left tournament organizers with no option but to separate their events into regional divisions.

The Fall Series now comprises ten out of the top twelve teams according to HLTV.org's World Ranking from October 12, as well as Ninjas in Pyjamas (No. 16) and MIBR, who are currently unranked as they only have two players on the roster after placing Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga, Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo, and Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo on the bench in mid-September.

The team list for BLAST Premier Fall Series, which will take place on October 26 to November 4, now looks as follows:

Lets go!!!!

Pretty stacked tournament, a pity that Liquid chicken out :-(

2020-10-14 23:29

FURIA is basically an NA team, they've been playing in NA this entire time. Also if burgers truly believe EG is #1 than here's their chance to prove it.

by your logic NA have 2 majors since LG/SK played there the entire time

What i mean by that is that they're playing an NA style of CS, if they suck in EU and EG sucks aswell it shows that NA really was and still is dogshit

Yessss FaZe was not replaced... meaning niko will stay with them maybe>???????

3 replies

It could also mean that Faze will have a stand in or a new player

2020-10-14 16:06

yeah true. But I pray to a higher power aka FaZe/G2 that he will stay with FaZe

2020-10-14 16:09

mibr still have 2 players, this means nothings. Faze could easily use another player.

FINALLY! NOW FURIA CAN GO OUT IN GROUP STAGE AND EG CAN PLACE 3RD IN TOURNAMENT

Well this going to age well... I predict furia not going out of Groupe.

2020-10-15 11:01

2020-10-14 16:45

Sad that 100 Thieves are not playing, they are looking great and I hoped I would see them in this event. Same for Liquid. FURIA is a good replacement, but why BIG, I don't understand.

2020-10-14 16:48

12 replies

Because there's no other good NA team other than Liquid, FURIA and EG.

2020-10-14 17:37

Chaos is good aswell.

2020-10-14 20:34

and you think that those guys would come to Europe to play????? no the guys in Europe would be always checking their PC's and then eventually find their cheats KEKW

2020-10-14 23:36

If you really believe they are cheating then you are funny lol.

2020-10-14 23:42

wasn't it obvious that I was joking???????

2020-10-15 01:25

I was going to sleep at the time and I was half dead almost, didn't get it. To much HLTV guys that really believe Chaos cheating and you know how it works.

2020-10-15 08:40

But why the #6?

They are not TOP 6 rn.

2020-10-14 20:35

pro.eslgaming.com/worldranking/csgo/rank.. hltv.org/ranking/teams/2020/october/12

2020-10-14 21:11

HLTV ranking is based off on a long time performance, and atm. BIG isn't top 6 for sure.

2020-10-14 23:40

they arent very in form right now but who else would you put in front of them? NA teams that arent proven against EU competition? OG and FaZe that had 1 good tournament? G2 isnt too hot right now either, col yet to confirm jks. Anyways even if you dont consider them top6, BIG totally deserve to finally play a Blast event, i just hope they get rid of MiBr for Heroic and we have the perfect tournament

2020-10-15 00:11

OG, they have been good for a long time. And I don't think BIG deserve it rn.

2020-10-15 08:37

-mibr +heroic

Imo the best CS GO tournament. Does a lot for the viewers.

We need FURIA and Astralis in the same group

2020-10-14 16:58

-MIBR +Some good eu team like Heroic please, ty blast admins

MIBR to play in BLAST Wingman Fall

2020-10-14 16:59

2020-10-14 17:22

Replace MiBR with Team Spirit

Will Jks play for coL in this tourney? And replace mibr with heroic already, like what can they do with 2 players?

2020-10-14 17:23

MiBR said they want to play Flashpoint and Blast with 3 stand-ins

2020-10-14 17:33

So, basically a random team now is playing in premier. Not even a core. I would swap them.

great decision = )

2020-10-14 17:24

-mibr +mousesports :)
