BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 Invites Announced

BLAST has announced the list of participants for BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2. The tournament will feature 32 teams and will begin with an online stage, which will take place from July 21 to 26. After that, the eight strongest rosters will travel to the LAN finals in Malta, where the decisive matches will be played from July 30 to August 2.

The tournament format will be extremely unforgiving: a single-elimination bracket with best-of-3 matches. This means teams will have almost no room for a slow start — one bad series could immediately end their entire tournament run.

The wildcard invites attracted special attention. They went to Liquid, 100 Thieves, EYEBALLERS, and OG. For these teams, BLAST Bounty will be a chance to enter a packed fight against the top teams and quickly remind everyone of themselves.

At the same time, the participant list also came with several notable absences. Natus Vincere, Legacy, BetBoom, and B8 will not play at the tournament. The absence of NAVI and BetBoom is especially noticeable, given their status and the attention around these rosters after recent major events.
