Astralis have qualified for BLAST Open Lisbon after securing victory in the RES Showdown online qualifier.

The Danes had to battle through 9INE, 500, and the in-form PARIVISION to secure the sole European invite to the 16-team $400,000 event.

Date	Matches
RES Showdown 1: BLAST Premier Rising Event
08/02/2025	Astralis Finished 2:0 9INE	Match
09/02/2025	500 Finished 0:2 Astralis	Match
09/02/2025	PARIVISION Finished 1:2 Astralis	Match

Fellow favorites GamerLegion and HEROIC fell to Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali and Aleksei "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev's PARIVISION —- who debuted with a win at the unranked CCT 16 — but Astralis took over the grand final in the final half of a tense Ancient decider.

Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz and Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard led the way with 1.27 and 1.25 event ratings and ended on top of the board on that decider to push top seeds Astralis over the finish line.

Qualifiers for Asia, South America, and North America are ongoing to decide the final three spots.

The Lisbon team roster is now:

parivision was definitely the better team. Even Passion UA would've been better. But pari eliminated Heroic, who eliminated Passion, who eliminated BetBoom(beating them twice). Astralis were essentially given a free road to the final. Only had to beat 9ine and 500 then had fluke comeback on 3rd map that Pari should've closed like 13-6
