Astralis and Natus Vincere secure first BLAST Pro Series Miami invites
The first two invites for the second BLAST Pro Series stop of 2019 have been announced, seeing Astralis and Natus Vincere make their way down to RFRSH Entertainment's first-ever North American tournament stop from April 12-13.
The $250,000 event will take place shortly after BLAST Pro Series Sao Paulo, and precedes the third BLAST stop of the year in Madrid. Astralis are already set to attend the Sao Paulo event, whereas Natus Vincere will make their way to Shanghai, China for StarSeries i-League Season 7 at the start of April.
Both Natus Vincere and Astralis have already taken home the trophy at previous BLAST Pro Series stops, with the Danish team grabbing wins in Instanbul and Lisbon while the Ukranian side snatched away a win in Copenhagen from NiP.
The team list for BLAST Pro Series Miami now looks as follows:
Astralis | Natus Vincere |
Invite | Invite |
Invite | Invite |
Having received invites to the previous BLAST Pro Series events, MIBR, FaZe, and Cloud9 are likely candidates to join the team list in the near future.
