The BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals are approaching, and fans now know exactly which teams will be fighting for the title. After weeks of intense online matches and unexpected results, only the strongest and most consistent squads managed to survive the qualification stage. The upcoming LAN event in Malta promises high-level Counter-Strike, big storylines, and plenty of drama both in and out of the server.
The list of participants for the BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals has been officially completed after the end of the online stage. Out of 32 teams that started the tournament, only eight managed to qualify for the final LAN phase, which will take place in Malta.
The online stage turned out to be extremely competitive. Several big favorites failed to make it through, including FaZe, Natus Vincere, and Aurora. In the end, only four teams from the world’s top 10 ranking survived the qualification process, once again showing how unpredictable this season has been.
One of the main storylines involves Falcons. Their key player, Maxim “kyousuke” Lukin, will not be able to travel to Malta due to visa issues. As a result, the team will use their academy player Matej “NucleonZ” Trajkoski as a stand-in for the Finals. This will be a huge opportunity for the young player to prove himself on a big LAN stage.
Before the Finals begin, a special draft ceremony will be held. The four lower-seeded teams will get to choose their opponents from the top-seeded teams, with Liquid having the first pick. This format adds an extra layer of strategy and could strongly influence how the playoff bracket looks.
The following teams will compete at the LAN Finals in Malta:
The final stage promises intense competition, featuring both established top-tier teams and squads that have already surprised everyone during the qualifiers. With the opponent draft system and the potential for major upsets, the BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals are shaping up to be one of the most exciting tournaments of the season.
