The captains of nearly all the teams participating in the upcoming BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 for Counter-Strike 2 intentionally skipped the media day. The boycott was not supported by only Leonid "chopper" Vishnyakov and Casper "cadiaN" Møller.
Consequently, Dan "apEX" Madeskler, Russell "Twistzz" Van Daalken, Finn "karrigan" Andersen, Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer, Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen, and Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski did not attend the photo session ahead of the tournament.
It is worth noting that the players made this decision as a protest against the substitution of Alexander "br0" Bro with cadiaN in the Astralis roster, which may violate the competition regulations. You can read more about this in our news article.
The BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 will take place from 25 to 29 September in Copenhagen, Denmark. The total prize pool for the championship is $425,000, which will be shared among eight teams. The top team will also secure a spot at the BLAST Premier World Final 2024.
