BLAST Premier Americas Fall Showdown bracket revealed
BLAST have announced the seeding and bracket for the Americas Fall Showdown happening later in October. The tournament, played online in North America, will see Complexity and Evil Geniuses fighting against Brazil and Oceania for the single coveted spot in the Fall Finals.
The matchups are as follows with seeds listed next to each team:
Complexity (1) vs Sharks (8)
MIBR (4) vs Los + oNe (5)
Evil Geniuses (3) vs Fluxo (6)
00Nation (2) vs VERTEX (7)
Complexity's match versus Sharks, who were invited due to missing the Spring Showdown, will be the first of the Americas bracket. The match is scheduled for October 19th at 04:30PM. On the other side of the bracket, Evil Geniuses will be facing Flux at 02:30PM on October 21st.
Both North American teams will proceed to the semifinals if they win their opening BO3s, where they will face the winners of MIBR vs oNe and 00Nation vs VERTEX, respectively. The winners of those semifinals will then play in the final, scheduled for 04:30PM on the 23rd, for the single slot to the BLAST Premier Fall Finals.
Already waiting in the Finals are the top six teams from the Fall Groups, including hometown heroes Liquid and Twistzz-harboring FaZe Clan. Set to take place at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, the almost half-a-million dollar event will crown another team to the BLAST Premier World Final in Abu Dhabi.
