A team of ten will bring the show to life in Copenhagen.

Familiar faces will guide you through the action in the Royal Arena

BLAST has announced the talent lineup for Fall Final 2023, their flagship event at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen. The primary duo, Mohan "⁠launders⁠" Govindasamy and Conner "⁠Scrawny⁠" Girvan, headline the list, and the usual desk of Freya "⁠Freya⁠" Spiers, Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche, and Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez will also make the trip to Denmark.

The desk will be joined by Alex "⁠Mauisnake⁠" Ellenberg in his first event since IEM Cologne, while James "⁠BanKs⁠" Banks is on interviews and will share stage hosting duties with Mike "⁠DarfMike⁠" Winnick. The final piece of the puzzle is the commentating duo of Anders "⁠Anders⁠" Blume and Henry "⁠HenryG⁠" Greer.

Probably, yeah. Blast didn’t even give them a playoffs match at the major. And they didn’t hire ynk at all. Blast is quite petty when it comes to that

I doubt that a hard carry of Maniac can account for Pimp and Maui being on the same desk. Two of the driest people in the world who somehow found their way into entertainment industry by not being entertaining and just making hot takes to trigger people. Will have to skip the desk, that would be a torture to watch.

When did Pimp make any hot take ? Never seen him talk for reactions. He might be annoying with his weight loss, or his accent (I personally don't think so, I'm just repeating what community says in general) but never have I seen him talk sh*t about something to trigger reactions on Twitter... I can be wrong, though. On the other hand maui 🤢

Pimp is not a hot take compared to Maui cause what Maui did is take Tate's school of triggering people for clout and applied it to CS. Pimp goes for hot takes pointing fingers at players in a pure HLTV style, y'know, guy had 0.96 rating in a tournament where they lost everything cause team wasn't functional and Pimp will hold his life to that irrelevant stat. It's a hot take cause it's a shallow statement that anyone can make regardless of understanding CS or not. Also Pimp about blameF is everything what people say Ynk is about Niko and 10x worse.
