🏆 BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 1 - the $1M LAN starts Apr 29!

🏆 Tournament info
Apr 29 – May 3, 2026
📍 Dickies Arena, Fort Worth, Texas
👥 8 teams | Tier 1
💰 $1,000,000 prize pool

The teams in:
🇪🇺 Vitality • 🇧🇷 FURIA • 🇪🇺 NAVI • 🇩🇰 Astralis
🇪🇺 G2 • 🇪🇺 FaZe • 🇷🇺 GamerLegion • 🇪🇺 FUT

🕹 Two things worth knowing:

1) All 8 teams were invited purely by VRS standings — no partner spots, no qualifiers. The rankings picked the field.

2) Six top-10 teams turned down their invites to this event. That's why the field looks the way it does - it's not weak, it's just the half of the top 10 that said yes, plus a few VRS-strong outsiders like 🇪🇺FUT.

The highest VRS team coming in: 🇪🇺 Vitality (#1, 2081 pts).

🔥 BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 1 - bracket is set!

📊 Win probability by VRS

Group A - Apr 29
🇪🇺 Vitality vs 🇪🇺 FUT - 65% / 35%
🇩🇰 Astralis vs 🇪🇺 G2 - 60% / 40%

Group B - Apr 29-30
🇪🇺 NAVI vs 🇪🇺 FaZe - 93% / 7%
🇧🇷 FURIA vs 🇷🇺 GamerLegion - 80% / 20%

8 teams, 2 GSL groups, all BO3. Group winners go straight to semifinals — two teams are gone by Day 2.

🕹 That 93%/7% isn't a typo.

🇩🇰 Karrigan left 🇪🇺 FaZe for Falcons just over a week ago. Twistzz is interim IGL, neityu is the stand-in. They open the tournament against the world #2 with a barely-set roster.

Who's making it out of groups? 👀

🇬🇧 mezii on his glow-up since joining 🇪🇺Vitality!

"Lifting trophies is the best workout."

🕹 He's not really joking...

🇪🇺 Vitality have won three Big Event trophies in a row this year — 🏆 IEM Kraków, 🏆 PGL Cluj-Napoca, 🏆BLAST Open Rotterdam and 🏆 IEM Rio two weeks ago. They currently sit #1 in the world by #VRS at 2081 pts.

That's a lot of workout

#Vitality #mezii

🇲🇳 Senzu has officially joined 🇪🇺 BCGame!

The 19-year-old Mongolian rifler — HLTV's #13 player of 2025 — signs with the team after a loan spell at Passion UA earlier this year, where he debuted at ESL Pro League S23 in early March.

In a separate move, 🇩🇪 ScrunK — BC.Game's analyst since January — is reportedly stepping in as interim IGL after the team benched MUTiRiS and aragornN earlier this month.

🕹 Worth knowing
Senzu is the first 🇲🇳 Mongolian player ever to make 🕹HLTV's Top 20, and the first from a fully Asian roster. He won EWC 2025 with 🇲🇳 The MongolZ — their first big LAN trophy ever — and finished 2nd at BLASTtv Austin Major.

Team:

🇺🇦 s1mple;
🏴‍☠️ electroNic;
🇵🇹 krazy;
🇲🇳 Senzu;
🇩🇪 ScrunK;

🇵🇱 TaZ (coach).

🇸🇴 sdy joins 🇺🇦Passion UA on loan as stand-in.

The 29-year-old 🇺🇦 Ukrainian rifler is best known for the 🏆 BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022 trophy with 🇺🇦NAVI — where he was, fittingly, a stand-in. Now he steps in again, this time for a Ukrainian-flag side.

The signing comes the same day 🇲🇳 Senzu's departure to 🇪🇺 BCGame became official.

Current Passion UA roster:

🇺🇦 Vladyslav "⁠Kvem⁠" Korol
🇿🇦 Johnny "⁠JT⁠" Theodosiou
🇺🇸 Nick "⁠nicx⁠" Lee
🇦🇷 Santino "⁠try⁠" Rigal
🇺🇦 Viktor "⁠sdy⁠" Orudzhev (loan)

🇿🇦 Tiaan "⁠T.c⁠" Coertzen (coach)

🕹 Worth knowing
SDY has been playing professional CS since 2017, with stints at 🇺🇦 NAVI, 🇷🇸 Team Spirit, 🇺🇦 Monte, and 🇫🇮 ENCE. This is his return to a Ukrainian-flag side since his Monte days.

🎙 Stavn just dropped the full 🇩🇰 HEROIC story on his new podcast.

His version: the plan was to kick cadiaN, then move himself to AWP or IGL. A week and a half later, 🇩🇰 Astralis called — and he left with jabbi.

"Looking back, I regret it. I was too naive."

🕹 HLTV just dropped a major investigation into 🇷🇺 GamerLegion, based on accounts from nearly 20 current and former staff and players.

The report details chronic wage delays, a sticker-money dispute that nearly led players to throw the BLASTtv Paris Major 2023 final, an academy that was quietly shut down after months of unpaid wages, and a workplace culture multiple sources describe as toxic and sexist. GamerLegion's CEO denies systemic issues and says all payments have been settled.

One of the bigger CS org stories of the year.

🇬🇧 FACEIT just dropped the Season 7 integrity report - and the numbers are wild.

- 74,715 total bans (+22% vs Season 6).
- Smurfs took the biggest hit at 47,472 (+42%),
- Traditional cheats stayed flat at 1,649 (+14%).
The real story: 😄AI-cheat bans jumped from almost nothing to 372 - a +272% spike that FACEIT calls the next big front.

And the new selfie re-check did its job - nearly 40% of flagged verified accounts failed the photo and got kicked out of matchmaking.

🕹 Worth knowing:

- AI cheats don't inject into the game like classic hacks — they read your screen and move the mouse like a human, which is exactly why old anti-cheats miss them. Season 7 is the first one where FACEIT publicly tracks them as a separate category.

- Season 8 starts April 22 with a soft ELO reset, placement matches, and an 8-map pool. Curious how clean the numbers stay once those bans are spent.

📅 Today's matches (UTC):
- 06:00 PM - 🇪🇺 Vitality vs 🇪🇺FUT
- 08:30 PM - 🇩🇰 Astralis vs 🇪🇺 G2
- 11:00 PM - 🇪🇺 NAVI vs 🇪🇺 FaZe

🧐 Worth knowing
Every team here got in through VRS — no qualifiers, no partner spots. 🇪🇺 MOUZ, 🇷🇺 Spirit, and 🇩🇰 Falcons all turned down invites, so the field ended up as five real top-10 teams plus three underdogs. Defending champs🇧🇷 FURIA open Day 1 against the lowest-seeded team in the bracket.

🔥 Opening match of BLAST Rivals 2026 S1 - 🇪🇺 Vitality (#1) vs 🇪🇺 FUT (#4)

🖥 Tournament info
BLAST Rivals 2026 S1 · Group A
Apr 29, 06:00 PM UTC | BO3

😎 Win chance by VRS model
🇪🇺 Vitality - 65%
🇪🇺 FUT - 35%

🧐 Worth knowing

1. 🇪🇺FUT walked into Fort Worth straight off winning PGL Bucharest 2026 - their first Big Event trophy. They'll play this one without IGL lauNX, who's out for health reasons; head coach coolio steps in as stand-in.
2. 🇪🇺 Vitality, on the other hand, are riding three Big Event trophies in a row in 2026, and🇪🇪 ropz just won MVP at the last one.

A loss here doesn't even drop Vitality's ranking. A win for FUT moves them top 3.

#BLASTRivals #Vitality #FUT

🎙 Twistzz is ready for his first match leading 🇪🇺 FaZe — and it happens to be 🇪🇺 NAVI tonight.

Speaking ahead of Day 1, he said FaZe vs NAVI matches are always a show, and even as underdogs, this is a chance to make the fans proud again.

He also recently opened up to 🕹 HLTV about 🇩🇰 karrigan's departure to 🇩🇰 Falcons — saying it wasn't handled the best way, and that the situation could've gone down in "more mature ways."

🕹 Worth knowing:
karrigan left for Falcons just over a week ago, leaving Twistzz to step in as interim IGL with neityu as stand-in. The 7% win probability is the steepest mismatch on Day 1.

🏆 Group A's second opening match — 🇩🇰 Astralis (#6) vs 🇪🇺 G2 (#12).

🏆 Tournament info
BLAST Rivals 2026 S1 · Group A
Apr 29 · 08:30 UTC | BO3

📊 Win chance by VRS model
🇩🇰Astralis — 60%
🇪🇺 G2 — 40%

🖥 Worth knowing

1. 🇩🇰 Astralis come in off a deep run at PGL Bucharest 2026 — they pushed FUT to a five-map grand final before falling 1-3.
2. 🇪🇺 G2 last lifted a trophy at BLAST Open Fall 2025 with this same core (huNter, malbsMd, MATYS, HeavyGod, SunPayus). Recent BO3s have been streaky — beaten by Spirit and Vitality, beat 3DMAX and Gentle Mates.

The risk math here is asymmetric: Astralis only lose -3.1 VRS pts if they go down. G2 gain +54.9 if they win — the biggest single-match swing on Day 1.
