BLAST Rising invites revealed

BLAST has announced the full list of participants for its Rising tournament, featuring €30,000 ($32,300) in prize money.

Finnish side HAVU, who placed third in Flashpoint 1, and ESL One: Road to Rio Europe duo Movistar Riders and Heretics headline the team list for this online tournament, which has been designed by BLAST to support teams outside of the upper echelon.

Running from May 4-22, BLAST Rising will begin with four double round-robin groups, from which the top two teams will progress to a single-elimination, best-of-three playoff bracket.

HAVU are the highest-ranked team in attendance in BLAST Rising

The draw for the group stage will be held on Thursday, April 30, with the matches streamed live on the BLASTtv Twitch channel. The full list of participants looks as follows:
