BLAST Bounty Season 2 Format Explained
BLAST Bounty Season 2 is split into online and LAN stages. The online phase played on European servers will determine the eight teams that qualify for the next stage.
Unlike other CS2 tournaments, the teams seeded from 17th to 32nd have selected their opponents in a draft, with the higher-seeded teams having bounties.
Teams earn prize money by beating teams with a bounty. The winning team earns half of the opponent’s bounty as a cash prize, while the rest carries over to the next match and is added to the victor’s total bounty.
The top eight teams from the online phase qualify for the LAN finals, taking place in Malta from August 14th to 17th, 2025.
