BLAST Bounty and StarLadder qualifier fantasy games go live

Fantasy games for the BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 online stage and the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 Europe Closed Qualifier are now live on the Fantasy page. Players can build teams and compete for in-game skin prizes sponsored by Hellcase.

The BLAST Bounty online phase runs through July 26. The Fall Season will begin with the BLAST Bounty Finals after the online matches conclude, and the first live match will be scheduled once the online stage ends. Organizers did not start the season with the online segment because it features only two rounds and is not suited to anchor a full season.

The BLAST Bounty fantasy competition uses a 32-team single-elimination bracket. All matches are best-of-three. Round of 16 matchups will be decided by teams drafting their opponents.

The StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 Europe Closed Qualifier uses four groups of four teams in a double-elimination format, followed by an eight-team playoff stage that does not include a grand final. That qualifier fantasy game is hosted on the same Fantasy page.

Several roster entries were changed or were not confirmed at launch. ultimate was initially added and later replaced by Jorko on Team Liquid. The BLAST site currently lists JT in place of siuhy; those entries will be corrected as lineups are confirmed. Gentle Mates were omitted from the StarLadder game because their roster had not been finalized and will be added once personnel are confirmed.

Prize tiers supplied by Hellcase include a Paracord Knife | Damascus Steel (Minimal Wear) for first place, an AK-47 | Phantom Disruptor (Factory New) for second, an M4A1-S | Party Animal (Minimal Wear) for third, and P250 | Epicenter (Minimal Wear) for fourth and fifth places. Players should create fantasy lineups on the Fantasy page and monitor team rosters and match schedules for late updates.
