BLAST Premier Fall Final bracket set

Astralis' new lineup's debut against Ninjas in Pyjamas will be the highlight bout of the opening round of matches in Copenhagen.

BLAST has revealed the seeding and opening matchups of the upcoming BLAST Premier Fall Final, taking place from November 24-28, which will see many of the world's best teams return to play for the first time following the conclusion of PGL Major Stockholm.

The opening day of the $425,000 event will see the first round of the double-elimination bracket play out, with Vitality and Liquid, two teams who are reportedly soon to undergo lineup changes, kicking off the action with a rematch from their Fall Groups encounter that saw the French side come out on top 2-1.

On the other side of the bracket, Heroic and FaZe will follow in a second-ever matchup between the two teams, before BIG face PGL Major Champions Natus Vincere in a David and Goliath clash.

The highlight matchup of the opening round is undoubtedly the debut of Astralis' lineup following their addition of former Complexity duo Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke and Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer, which will see the new Danish squad lock horns with Ninjas in Pyjamas.
