Liquid, Astralis & FaZe secure first spots at BLAST Pro Series Global Final

Liquid, Astralis and FaZe have booked the first three spots at the BLAST Pro Series Global Final following the end of the round-robin stage of the Moscow event.

With Ninjas in Pyjamas claiming six points in Moscow and MIBR just four, the trio are guaranteed a minimum top-four finish in the BLAST season leaderboard irrespective of the outcome of the last regular stop, which will be held in Copenhagen in early November.

Having already attended four BLAST events this year, MIBR are out of the race for a Global Final spot and will end the season with 12 points. The Brazilians placed last in São Paulo, third in Miami, fifth in Los Angeles and fourth in Moscow.

Liquid and Astralis will travel to Bahrain in December

Ninjas in Pyjamas will secure a spot at the Global Finals as long as they do not place last in Copenhagen. In case that happens, they can be caught by Natus Vincere or Cloud9, provided that one of these two teams win the Danish event. BLAST Pro Series has not revealed what will happen in the event of a tie in the season leaderboard.

The BLAST Pro Series Global Final will take place from December 13-14 in Bahrain, with $500,000 on the line. The winner of the tournament - featuring the top four teams of the season - will collect a cheque for $350,000 and the title of BLAST Pro Series season champion.
