BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 rosters are now locked.
The roster lock has been causing a frenzy among tier-one teams in the past few weeks, with teams scrambling to build the best possible lineup for a chance at glory in Copenhagen's Royal Arena.
All teams have now confirmed their rosters for BLAST Fall Final.
As a result, there have been some crazy stories and transfers, so who knows what to expect now that there are so many new teams to watch?
While you'll have to wait for organisations to announce all of their changes, we're lucky enough that some of them have already been announced.
Heroic have been big movers, first announcing the benching of cadiaN with dupreeh replacing him, and then announcing the return of their former captain following the debacle surrounding stavn and jabbi.
Heralded by Heroic as 'one last dance' for cadiaN in Heroic before he reportedly departs for Liquid, can the talismanic leader be enough to help Heroic retain their Fall Final crown?
Elsewhere in Scandinavia, NIP have turned their back on their Swedish core with the benching of hampus, who will now be replaced on the team by the returning es3tag.
Brollan has also been benched, and while NIP are yet to announce his replacement, academy player maxster has been standing-in in the meantime.
For the first time since 2016, NAVI will be without s1mple.
The GOAT of Counter-Strike will be taking a break as he sorts out some issues with 'paperwork'. NAVI have been in impressive form of late, can they keep it up without their legendary AWPer?
For that to happen, w0nderful is going to have to hit the ground running, but the young Ukrainian has been in incredible form since joining Sprout from Team Spirit.
NAVI aren't the only team playing without their star sniper, sh1ro has also made waves in the past week as he stepped down from Cloud9's active roster.
A huge loss for the Russian team: Can they convert their Fall Showdown win into a strong performance, or will sh1ro leave too big of a hole to fill?
BLAST Premier Fall Final will be played between November 22nd-26th.
A $425,000 tournament to be played in Copenhagen's legendary Royal Arena, you can catch all the action right here on BLAST.tv.
