A fresh Fantasy season is about to begin with the LAN tournament taking place in Malta. The competition brings substantial rewards for top-performing players.
The Fall Season features a total prize pool of $10,000, distributed among the top 10 players by the time the Singapore Major concludes in December. Hellcase sponsors these prizes with first place earning $5,000, second taking home $2,000, third receiving $1,000, and positions four through ten each getting $300.
The Celebrity leaderboard maintains its $2,000 prize distribution, with the winner claiming $1,000. Notable participants include James "BanKs" Banks, Alex "Mauisnake" Ellenberg, and Anastasija "Heccu" Tolmačeva, with Hellcase providing sponsorship.
The tournament format features an eight-team single-elimination bracket. Quarter-finals and semi-finals follow a best-of-three format, while the Grand Final extends to best-of-five. Teams will draft their quarter-final opponents themselves. Liquid confirmed they'll participate fully in BLAST Bounty, resolving any scheduling conflicts with Stake Pulse.
Regarding player selections, Spirit stands as the only top contender reaching Finals, with MOUZ ranked tenth globally coming next. This unusual lineup affected pricing significantly. Danil "donk" Kryshkovets commands the highest price at $250,000 as Spirit's star player, appearing in half of all Fantasy teams.
Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski proves most popular at $187,000. Despite modest previous season numbers, he averaged a 1.49 rating in online matches against G2 and Vitality under Johnny "JT" Theodosiou's leadership, convincing 60% of Fantasy players to select him.
Hellcase sponsors skin prizes including a Huntsman Knife Bright Water for first place, M4A1-S Player Two for second, and AK-47 Searing Rage for third, among other rewards.
