BLAST Announces Format Changes Ahead of Bounty Fall 2025 Launch
The BLAST Bounty Fall 2025 is about to kick off, bringing with it significant changes that will make the tournament even more intense, strategic, and spectacular. The organizers have updated the betting system and prize distribution — now every match can become not just a battle for points but also for real money.
What's Changing in Season 2
The new season of BLAST Bounty starts on August 5 with closed qualifiers, and the final stage will take place in Malta from August 14 to 17. The organizers have introduced several key updates:
Fixed Seeding Position: Now teams will keep their initial seed throughout the tournament. This was implemented so that underdogs who defeat favorites don't interfere with the latter's ability to choose more convenient opponents in subsequent stages.
New Betting System Between Teams: Before a match, teams can agree on a bet, and the amounts don't necessarily have to be equal. The right of the first move goes to the team with the lower seed.
The Bet Goes Directly to the Winner's Bank: Now the won money is added directly to the team's "bank," not their bounty. This is a key change. Previously, the bet was split and added to the bounty, but now it goes entirely to the winner. An example in the article shows that if Vitality beats BetBoom Team , the team receives the entire bet amount in their bank without any losses.
$2500 for Each Victory: Teams will receive $2500 from their bounty for each game won. If the bounty amount is less, they will take it all. This allows for earnings even in the early stages and encourages competition in every match.
Why All This?
These changes make the tournament format sharper and more unpredictable. Now teams must not only play to win but also strategically manage their finances. In BLAST Bounty Fall 2025, each match becomes not just part of the bracket — it's already a mini-battle for real money, with players themselves placing the bets.
Underdogs can cleverly provoke favorites into large bets and take risks to hit the jackpot. Top teams will have to decide: play it safe or risk it for a bigger prize. For viewers, this means maximum intrigue and tension.
BLAST is raising the bar once again — and doing so smartly. Financial strategy, psychological games, and excitement are returning to the CS2 arena. The second season of BLAST Bounty promises to be one of the most spectacular events of the year.
