BLAST Pro Series returns with another invitational tournament for fans to enjoy as six of the top CS:GO teams are looking to battle it out in Los Angeles, California.
Only two months on from where ENCE claimed victory in Madrid after defeating Astralis in the Grand final, BLAST Pro Series have returned for the latest stop in their BPS Circuit this time gathering six of the top teams to Los Angeles and putting up another $250,000 prize pool.
This will be the first of the BLAST Pro Series tournaments without former number one team Astralis in attendance, as news of the tournament organizers severing ties with the esports org has been released following criticism from CS:GO fans.
The tournament will debut some new line-ups such as Cloud9 and MiBR who have made recent roster moves such as the shocking benching of Marcelo ‘coldzera’ David from the Brazilian squad, who will be using head coach Wilton ‘zews’ Prado as a stand-in for the event.
