Zero Tenacity become the first team to qualify for BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2024
We might not have played BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024 yet, but we already have our first team confirmed for the Fall Showdown.
Balkan team Zero Tenacity are the worthy winner of the RES European Masters, they picked up victories against Iberian giants KOI and SAW on their way to confirming their place in the Showdown.

Heading into the RES European Masters, all eyes were on the debut of the new ENCE team with podi and sdy.
Unfortunately for the Finnish organisation, they didn't get off to a good start, they were eliminated in groups following consecutive losses to DMS.
They did pick up one win, though - a gruelling 25-23 victory against KOI.
The other side of the bracket would see fans' attention turned to SAW and fnatic. Both teams would qualify for the semi-finals, but they both went no further as DMS and Zero Tenacity booked themselves spots in the final after two 2-1 matches.
The final was a comprehensive victory for Zero Tenacity, they won 13-9 on Inferno before wrapping it up 13-4 on Anubis.
Their Bosnian AWPer brutmonster shone during the event as he recorded a 1.26 HLTV rating - he'll certainly be one to watch out for when the Showdown rolls around.
BLAST Premier Fall Showdown will be played between August 21st-25th 2024. Before then we have BLAST Premier Fall Groups, which are set to take place between July 26th-August 4th.
