The first day of the Chinese qualifier for the BLAST.tv Austin Major came to a dramatic end after just one of two series was played out.

After Lynn Vision beat Rare Atom handily in a 2-0 series, the second match between DogEvil and TYLOO came to a halt after one of DogEvil's players, Junchi "⁠BZA⁠" Yang, was unable to "change his Steam account to match the registered account within the required timeframe."

The organizers further clarified that BZA registered a Steam ID that was banned on the B5 platform, where the Major qualifier is being held, for cheating seven years ago.

As a result, TYLOO were handed a default win to advance to the upper final, where they will play Lynn Vision for the first of two BLAST.tv Austin Major spots on offer in the Chinese qualifier.

Meanwhile, DogEvil dropped to the lower bracket to face off against Rare Atom for elimination on Wednesday. The winner of that series will move on to play the loser of TYLOO vs. Lynn Vision for the second Major spot on Thursday.
