BLAST Rivals teams announced

BLAST has announced the final list of teams that will be competing in the inaugural season of BLAST Rivals. Initially set to be a LAN in Monterrey, Mexico the event was shifted to BLAST Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark due to "unforeseen logistical challenges".

Vitality, Spirit, MOUZ and FaZe were handed out slots through the Global VRS. The MongolZ, currently placed at #3, have reportedly declined the invite. Wildcard invites were handed out to Falcons (Global VRS #7, Europe VRS #5), paIN (Global VRS #11, Americas VRS #1), Wildcard (Global VRS #20; Americas VRS #5) and FlyQuest (Global VRS #28; Asia VRS #3) to round off the list.

Taking place between 30th April 2025 and 4th May 2025, the tournament begins with double-elimination bo3 brackets across across two groups of four each. Top three teams from each group head into the six-team single-elimination bracket playoffs where a bo5 grand-final crowns the winner. The groups are yet to be announced.
