BLAST Premier Fall Showdown qualifiers announced

Tournaments across four continents will determine seven teams advancing to the BLAST Premier Fall Final qualifiers.

BLAST has announced seven qualifiers for the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown, the final step on the road to the BLAST Premier Fall Final taking place in Copenhagen in November.

The qualifiers will run from August 10-September 17 and feed one team each to the Showdown across four continents: one North American, one South American, four European, and one Asian slot will be up for grabs.

The online Fall Showdown itself will follow on October 4-8, split between the Americas and Europe, with the winners qualifying for the Fall Final.

Of the 16 teams in total, six have already been determined after they failed to qualify from the Fall Groups — G2, Liquid, Complexity, OG, BIG, and Evil Geniuses —, seven will come from the pre-qualifiers, and three more will be directly invited.

The South American tournament is slated to start later this Thursday, boasting the likes of 00NATION, Fluxo, and 9z. You can follow the event on the tournament page here.
