Vitality <\/strong>has been selected as the third team to participate in the prestigious BLAST Premier World Final<\/strong>. This event, which features a prize pool of $1,000,000<\/strong>, has been a highly anticipated conclusion to the year since its establishment in 2021.<\/p>\n

This year, the World Final’s <\/strong>schedule is uncertain due to a conflict with the RMR qualifiers <\/strong>for the Shanghai Major<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The location for the event is yet to be announced following the expiration of BLAST’s <\/strong>deal with Abu Dhabi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The main objective of the World Final<\/strong> is to assemble the most outstanding teams of the year for an intimate eight-team LAN tournament. BLAST <\/strong>successfully achieves this by extending invitations to the victorious teams of the most prestigious events, including Major winners Natus Vincere<\/strong>, IEM Katowice<\/strong> champions Spirit<\/strong>, and the recently crowned IEM Cologne<\/strong> victors Vitality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The top two slots are also awarded to the winners of the other BLAST Premier<\/strong> stadium events, including the Spring Final<\/strong>, which was won by Team Spirit<\/strong>, and the Fall Final<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The remaining slots are determined by the BLAST Premier <\/strong>leaderboard, taking into account that if a team such as Spirit <\/strong>wins two events, it would typically earn them an invitation. This method will determine four slots, with FaZe <\/strong>and G2 <\/strong>currently holding the fourth and fifth-place positions after IEM Cologne<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The competition for the final two spots will be fierce, with bothMOUZ <\/strong>and Astralis <\/strong>currently ahead in the rankings. However, there will be ample opportunities to earn ranking points at the upcoming ESL Pro League S20<\/strong>, BLAST Showdown<\/strong>, and BLAST Fall Final<\/strong> events before teams lock in their rosters on October 23<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Valve’s <\/strong>rules regarding partner leagues dictate that 2024 will mark the last occurrence of the World Final<\/strong> in its current format. In its place, BLAST Rivals<\/strong>, an eight-team event held bi-annually, will be introduced. Teams will be invited based on Valve’s <\/strong>World Ranking.<\/p>\n

BLAST Official Announcement<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

The current team list for BLAST World Final 2024 is as follows:<\/h3>\n

Natus Vincere<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spirit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vitality<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

One more team to qualify through BLAST Fall Final 2024<\/strong>, and four teams to get their spots through BLAST Rankings<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
