The Blast Fall Showdown Event

The BLAST Fall Showdown is set to be a thrilling spectacle as teams from around the globe vie for supremacy in two regional single-elimination eight-team brackets. The ultimate prize at stake is a coveted spot at the prestigious $425,000 BLAST Fall Final, to be held in Copenhagen.

Meanwhile, in the Americas/Rest of the World bracket, FURIA and Imperial have secured their spots. The bracket currently holds one remaining spot, awaiting the victor of the Ace North American Masters Fall tournament.

FURIA and Imperial will face off against tough opponents, including Complexity, Fake Natty, and Evil Geniuses, all vying for the coveted spot in the Fall Final.

It's worth noting that Liquid will also participate in the Americas/Rest of the World Showdown, primarily due to the tournament's details finalized before their transition to a European core.

However, BLAST's press release suggests that Liquid's status as a BLAST North American partner team may undergo changes in 2024.
