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.
Online Stage
All 32 seeds enter online. Beat a team and you bank half its bounty as cash, then carry the rest into your next match. Bigger seeds carry bigger bounties, so the deeper you hunt, the more you stack.
Malta Finals
The eight survivors fly to Attard, Malta. Bounties carry in. It is single-elimination from here, every series live on LAN with the pot on the line.
Grand Final
Last two standing play a best of five for the Season 2 title and the largest bounty left on the board.
Online Jul 21-26 → Malta Finals Jul 30-Aug 2 → BO5 Final
All 32 invited teams, in ranking order. Seeding sets each team's starting bounty, the higher the seed, the bigger the target. Starting fives and roles are on the lineups page.

Common questions about the event.
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.
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.
