BLAST took to X, announcing that the winner of 5E Arena Asia Cup Fall 2023 - BLAST Premier Qualifier, TheMongolZ will not be a part of the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2023 because of visa complications. BLAST also stated that over the same visa complications, they were not able to invite the runner up from the Asia qualifier - 5yclone, consisting the core of Rare Atom.
BLAST has decided to call in Party Astronauts in the BLAST Premier Rest of the World Showdown to replace TheMongolz. Party Astronauts were the runner up in the Ace North American Masters Qualifier.
Victory Zigzag will be replaced by Alliance in the BLAST Premier Fall European Showdown. Alliance were the runner up in Nordic Masters Qualifier. Victory Zigzag's joel was suspended with an on-going ESIC investigation and their coach Hardwell who had to stand-in for joel received a ban on FACECIT for cheating, making things more complicated.
