Anders and Mauisnake partner up for BLAST Premier Showdown

The nine-person lineup will bring you all the action from both the North American and European events.

BLAST has announced the talent that will be guiding the viewers through the Premier Fall Showdown. The teams in both events will be competing for a spot in the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022 which will take place between November 23-27.

On the desk Freya "⁠Freya⁠" Spiers will be hosting alongside Danny "⁠mahone⁠" Hsieh, Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez and Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche as analysts whilst James "⁠BanKs⁠" Banks will hold down the interviewing duties.

Mauisnake and Anders will once again commentate together

The commentating list includes a mixture of the old and the new with Anders "⁠Anders⁠" Blume and Alex "⁠Mauisnake⁠" Ellenberg partnering up for the first time since ESL Pro League Season 15 during group C. The partnership will be joined by the PGL Antwerp Major semi-finalist casting duo of Conner "⁠Scrawny⁠" Girvanand Mohan "⁠launders⁠" Govindasamy.

Both BLAST Premier Fall Showdown North America and Europe will run from October 19-23 with the European games starting earlier in the day. There are four top 20 teams in attendance in the European event in Vitality, HEROIC, Astralis, and BIG.

As for the North American showdown, there is only one top 20 team in Complexity who recently failed to qualify for the Rio Major at the Americas RMR, joined by Evil Geniuses, 00NATION, MIBR,

Gotta tab out too, muting alone only solves 50% of the problem.

100% . pimp by far is the most annoying person they could have other than maybe that dude raules they had at the americas RMR at the desk who could barely put a sentence together. raules made that desk almost as bad as the maui bleh and montrash one. only reason it wasnt is because theres 3 trash ones together in the maui desk and just the moron raulesd on the americas one. but raules was like a pimp and just shouldnt EVER SPEAK TO AN AUDIENCE ALL THEY DO IS HINDER THE REST OF THE TALENT

No one can deny that harry is the casting goat. His sexual innuendos and gay jokes is such a refreshment in the stale kind of casting we have nowadays.

Maui lives rent free in a few heads. Bunch of gigglechads. To be fair, Anders could cast with me and still be wonderful. Maui does watch a few more demos than I do, like 200 more a week, so he might do better that I would. .
