The BLAST Bounty Fall 2025 is held in mid-August and is part of the BLAST Premier circuit, one of four distinct competition categories within BLAST’s global Counter-Strike circuit for 2025. BLAST Premier 2025 includes four types of events—Bounty, Open, Rivals, and Rising—each split into Spring and Fall seasons.

The BLAST Bounty Fall 2025 is organized by an eSports production company located in Copenhagen, Denmark, BLAST, as part of its official BLAST Premier circuit—BLAST itself is the sole event organizer for this competition. It handles everything from invitations and global seeding to venues and production under the BLAST Premier umbrella.

Where and When Will the BLAST Bounty Fall 2025 Be Held?

The exact dates of the event’s Finals are August 14–17, 2025, while the qualifications are set to start before that. The tournament venue will be the BLAST Arena Studios, located in Malta, hosting the offline LAN Finals.

A total of 8 elite teams participate in this LAN event’s final stage. Matches before the LAN Finals (Round of 32 and Round of 16) are held online in Europe during the first week of August, serving as the Closed Qualifier for the top 8 LAN slots.

The prize pool for the LAN Finals is US$500,000, aligning with S-Tier BLAST Premier standards, but there’s no info on its distribution yet. In addition to the prize money, Frequent Flyer Tokens (FF Tokens or FFP Tokens) will be awarded to the participating teams according to their placement. These are part of BLAST’s Frequent Flyers Programme—a loyalty rewards system designed to benefit teams that consistently participate in BLAST Premier events and also perform well within them. At the end of the year, teams split a minimum US$2 million bonus pool based on the total tokens they’ve earned. The winner of the BLAST Bounty Fall 2025 will earn 3 tokens, while the remaining seven finalists will get 1 each.

The final 8 LAN slots will be determined at the end of the Closed Qualifier, where 28 teams entered based on Valve Regional Standings (VRS) as of early July 2025, plus four teams based on wildcard invites.

Matches of the Closed Qualifier are set in a classic SE bracket, where low seeds (17–32) get to choose their first-round opponent from the high seeds (1–16). The 17th seed picks first, then the 18th, and so on. After a lower-seeded team defeats a higher-seeded one, they inherit that seed for future rounds. In each subsequent round, reseeding is done, and then again, lower seeds pick their opponents from the remaining higher-seeded teams.

Features of the BLAST Bounty Fall 2025

There’s only one stage for the Finals: the Playoffs, given that it’s the last stage.

The format for the Finals is the Single-Elimination bracket. Quarterfinals and Semifinals are Best-of-3 series. The Grand Final is the Best-of-5 series.

Who’ll Win the BLAST Bounty Fall 2025?

Given that the preliminary stage, the Closed Qualifier, didn’t even start (August 5–10), it’s impossible to determine tournament favorites.

For the best value for your bets on the event, compare odds across reputable platforms for CS2 esport betting like GG.BET, Bet365, or 888STARZ, particularly as the tournament progresses and markets open up. Follow the form—use recent results from Bounty Spring and Open events, such as the Closed Qualifier, to place bets.
