23-4-2025 17:20

The event will also see the debut of the new Anders-ddk commentary pairing.

BLAST have announced the talent for Rivals Season 1, held in the company's Brøndby studios.

2025 regulars Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche, Alex "⁠Mauisnake⁠" Ellenberg and Donald "voo" Parkhurst return from Bounty and Open, with Conner "⁠Scrawny⁠" Girvan and Mohan "⁠launders⁠" Govindasamy in the commentary booth as always.

BLAST Rivals Monterrey moved to Copenhagen

Mike "⁠DarfMike⁠" Winnick will pair with Pimp in the American's first S-tier gig as a desk host since Cologne 2024.

Compatriot Dustin "⁠dusT⁠" Mouret also joins the team, with Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen as the final analyst.

Five-time Major winner dupreeh told HLTV Confirmed that analyst work was something he wanted to do "for fun," but did not shut the door on a return to a playing career should an opportunity arise.

Finally, Daniel "⁠ddk⁠" Kapadia and Anders "⁠Anders⁠" Blume will debut their new pairing in the Brit's first Counter-Strike work since the Stockholm Major in 2021. The duo will also be appearing at PGL Astana.

I don't like cadiaN as a player but would probably enjoy him as an analyst. NBK was great, let's hope dupreeh will be as good. Sadly we will have to suffer Mauisnake's presence again...

+1 about maiuy It was a really sad moment for me when I read that he will be in Astana too I mean Id rather have Pimp but that snake guy is insanely annoying

2025-04-23 18:22

Same. Can't say I love Pimp but that's ok. But the snake guy is unbareable, whether it is his opinions/takes, his tone of voice, his body language...just everything about this guy irks me...
