BLAST Premier has announced the lineup of participants for the BLAST Rivals Fort Worth tournament, which will take place in Texas. The event will conclude the first season of BLAST Premier in 2026 and will be held on May 1–3, 2026, at Dickies Arena with a $1,000,000 prize pool.
Eight teams will participate: Team Vitality, FURIA, Natus Vincere, Astralis, G2 Esports, FaZe Clan, GamerLegion, and FUT Esports. Invitations were issued based on the Valve ranking, which is why teams such as MOUZ, PARIVISION, Team Falcons, Team Spirit, Aurora Gaming, and The MongolZ declined their invitations to the tournament.
Among the interesting storylines, FURIA will defend the title they won at the previous Rivals event. Ukrainian viewers will have the chance to watch Natus Vincere and FUT Esports, while overall the tournament will be a good opportunity for every team to start building form ahead of the Major, as the event will take place about a month before the main tournament of the season.
