BLAST Rising Fall 2025 Open Qualifier set to begin this weekend

The Open Qualifier for the second BLAST Rising event of the year will take place from Saturday to Sunday. Four of the maximum 256 teams will advance to join the four VRS-invited teams in the BLAST Rising NA main event.

The winner of this edition of BLAST Rising, put on by Liga Ace Esports in North America, will earn their spot at BLAST Open Fall in London.

The qualifier will be a single-elimination bracket, with matches beginning at 05:00PM on Saturday, the 27th, and at 07:00PM on Sunday, the 28th.

The winners of the quarterfinal matches in the qualifier will join NRG, Wildcard, M80, and Getting Info in the main event.

BLAST Rising Fall NA will feed into the BLAST Open Fall Closed Qualifier, where the winner will advance to face the top twelve teams invited by VRS to compete for six spots in the BLAST Open main event.
