Ace NA Masters Spring Open Qualifier #1 begins tomorrow

The North American open qualifier for the BLAST Premier Showdown qualifier is scheduled to begin tomorrow and will be hosted on Gamers Club. This qualifier, however, will be different than previous iterations as there is no more regional Showdown and the winner will instead have to head to Europe for the expanded event.

Back in November, BLAST announced that the North American and European Showdowns would be consolidated into one event with only one qualifier. This event, known as the Ace North American Masters Spring 2024, will have two open qualifiers for teams in North America, granting four spots to the eight-team qualifier event.

This first open qualifier is set to begin on January 23rd and will end on January 24th. The second open qualifier begins on January 26th and send on January 27th.

As of now, there are only twelve teams registered for the first open qualifier, however more teams are expected to sign up before the event begins.
