In recent times, major esports teams like NAVI, Cloud9, Heroic, and Liquid have been making significant changes to their lineups, grabbing headlines across various news outlets. Perhaps these alterations are all tied to the approaching roster lock deadline for the BLAST Fall Finals.
According to BLAST Premier’s official regulations, all participating teams must finalize their rosters three weeks before the tournament kicks off. The initial match of the BLAST Fall Finals is scheduled for November 22, implying that teams need to confirm their rosters by October 31.
Among the teams competing in the BLAST Fall Finals, COL appears to have the fewest rumors surrounding them. Vitality’s Magisk seems poised to leave the team, Twistzz from FaZe is likely to return to Liquid, NAVI might sign w0nderful to replace s1mple, Heroic still has two vacant spots in their starting lineup, there’s internal uncertainty within Team A, NiP is promoting academy player maxster and moving substitute Brollan to the starting lineup, and C9 recently announced that Boombl4 will be a substitute in tonight’s Thunderpick tournament.
Failure to meet the roster submission deadline will result in these teams having their seed placements adjusted to the bottom. Throughout the tournament, they will maintain the lowest seed placements.
