Peacemaker breaks down the unique BLAST Bounty Fall 2026 format, explaining how lower-seeded teams can challenge higher-ranked opponents for both prize money and valuable VRS points. He believes the BO3 format rewards deeper map pools while making the opening stage more competitive than ever.
Reviewing every first-round matchup, he points to Heroic vs The MongolZ, Nemesis vs Astralis, Gentle Mates vs paiN, and Sharks vs FURIA as the most interesting series. According to Peacemaker, many underdogs made smart opponent selections by targeting teams with recent roster changes or inconsistent form.
Looking ahead, Peacemaker expects Heroic and Nemesis to be the biggest positive surprises of the tournament, while naming Vitality as his favorite to win the event. Despite their Major disappointment, he believes the French side will return motivated and start the new season with a statement performance.
