BLAST Premier Fall Series schedule revealed

BLAST Premier Fall Series is scheduled to start on October 26, running a three-group GSL stage ending on November 4.

The $150,000 BLAST Premier Fall Series will feature three GSL groups made up of four teams apiece. Each group will be played out over three days, with the top two teams securing a spot at the BLAST Premier Fall Finals, while the bottom two teams will have another chance at redemption through the Fall Showdown.

The BLAST tournament is unifying the European and North American regions as several American teams will fly to Europe to play the online event, which will feature the first intercontinental bout on the first day of play, Monday, October 26, when Evil Geniuses and OG face off right after the tournament's opening match between Ninjas in Pyjamas and Natus Vincere.

The second group will kick off on Thursday, October 29, right after the first group concludes, with the opening matches pitting Vitality vs. Complexity, where Nabil "⁠Nivera⁠" Benrlitom could possibly make a debut, and BIG vs. FaZe on the other.

A day off on Sunday will give way to the third group starting on Monday, November 2, where the two Brazilian squads in attendance, MIBR and FURIA, will go up against Astralis and G2 in their opening matches.
