BLAST Bounty is not a normal bracket. Every team carries a cash bounty, and you claim your opponent's when you beat them. The field hunts down from 32 to a Malta Finals.

Common questions about the event.

When does BLAST Premier Bounty Season 2 start?

The online stage runs July 21-26 with all 32 teams. The eight qualifiers then play the LAN Finals July 30 to August 2 at BLAST Studios in Attard, Malta.

How does the bounty format work?

Every team carries a cash bounty seeded by ranking. Win a match and you claim half your opponent's bounty as a guaranteed payout, then carry the other half forward, so hunting bigger seeds pays. A single-elimination online stage cuts the 32 teams down to 8, who play the Malta LAN bracket into a best-of-five final. Total pool is $1.15M plus club share and Frequent Flyer tokens.
