Due to the ongoing ESIC investigation, Victory Zigzag will be replaced in next week's BLAST Premier Fall European Showdown by Alliance (formerly known as 416Olsk), who were runners-up in this month's Nordic Masters Qualifier.

In another change enforced due to visa issues, Mongolz will be replaced in the Rest of the World Fall Showdown by Party Astronauts.

Due to visa complications and timeframes, it hasn’t been possible to invite the runner-up from the Asia Cup Qualifier or provide a direct invite from a ROW-based team, so Party Astronauts have been invited as the runner-up to the North American Qualifier.

BLAST Premier Fall European Showdown will be played in CS:GO.
