Despite Counter-Strike 2 being released, BLAST announced that teams would be competing on CS:GO in order for teams to first settle in with the newly released sequel.
However, for the teams that qualify for the Fall Finals, which takes place between November 22-26, they will compete on CS2.
As the first-round matchups kicked off for the 16 invited teams, a team from the NA side of the bracket was shown being interrupted mid-match by the US emergency alarm.

“Damn, that’s some bad luck for Party Astronauts. Can’t imagine trying to clutch with an emergency alert blaring in your ear. RIP their game,” another added.
