looks like a Hitman mission briefing but in red and blue, very cool. Still have no idea tf is happening but shout out to the graphic design team👍

[@TayfunOmer]

soo, the only change is that instead of having two showdown events (EU and AME with 8 teams now you have a showdown with 16 teams)?

[@LifoGifo]

And Pro League doesn't give you a spot in the World Final anymore.

[@twgkofi329]

​​@@LifoGifoI like that though, Katowice and Cologne are much more prestigious than Pro League in my eyes

[@alexanderying1558]

And Spring and Fall Finals will have different formats

[@felifeli2181]

​@@alexanderying1558not format, just schedule for Fall season

[@alexanderying1558]

@@felifeli2181 Its called tournament format.
Schedule only refers to time plans

[@koala-ytt]

Last year for this horrendous format, looking forward to 2025 👍👍

[@esimasun]

i didn''t understood anything but i love it

[@Durikamos]

😂

[@habibullahmetin1879]

nothing is changed except showdown. Blast has to increase the fall final spots imo. 8 is too low should be 12 at least. %50 percent of partner teams automatically qualifies the seasonal finals is too much, hope C9 and ENCE take the partner spots instead of EG and OG.

[@GrimReaper..]

But org partnership will end in 2025 right?

[@44r0n-9]

Yes.

[@tuskutin]

i cant believe i clicked in fully expecting an actual change

[@spooky5777]

Damn, the tournaments camed up quite in advance, world final in November, Fall Final in september, thats cool for me, the interval between Fall Season Final and the World Final were too short.

[@itsdeanmachine]

Thanks for being 100x easier to understand than ESL.

[@androdz4077]

intense

[@VORT3X..]

Anybody here that is going to London semi finals know anything about what time it will finish or any other information

[@andreijarood7107]

To make it short : Everyone is trying to win

[@jerryjerry1850]

blast is so goated 💔💔

[@poobjuice]

Ight

[@mareeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

So really its a triple elimination

[@emilmortensen668]

This is not correct since you made new Partner teams. Pls update it

[@btec6736]

Roll on 2025

[@nikhilshetye24]

there has to be a better way to explain this. Amazing work with graphics btw.

[@siimsakib]

please make the finals BO5

[@Sn0ring]

Come back to LA 🙏 Don't do us dirty like last time.

[@alexoutfall9009]

no major :(

[@frag2107]

aayein

[@Pintkonan]

i dont like that there are so many seeded teams already. this does not help competition and creates a viscious cycle that self contains the same teams over and over again. please change this. i want the best teams there, not those with the best contracts with blast or other tournament organisations.

[@anghika4132]

WHY IS IT SO CONFUSING, WHY CANT WE HAVE QUALIFIERS, 16 TEAMS QUALIFY AND THEY GO IN A FREAKING RO16 THEN RO8 THEN SEMIFINALS AND FINALS I LITERALLY UNDERSTOOD NOTHING ABOUT THIS HORRENDOUS FORMAT

[@danielretardo]

only 1 million prize pool???? meanwhile 4.6 million cases unboxings only in november 2023 = about 10 million dollars - 3 million a month operating costs is still 7 million only last month hmm funny how this works

[@saifalzarooni1475]

This is coming from Blast, not from Valve. Cases opened go into Valve's topic while Blast are just tournament organizing company.
