BLAST Rosters

Will align with the roster at the conclusion of the session for the specific BLAST event being played.

For example: Fall BLAST is being played based on the Fall session. Therefore players who meet the necessary eligibility requirements and were on your team at the end of the Fall session will be the roster that will show up for the Fall BLAST. Players added to your Spring session roster will not show up.

BLAST Eligibility: Players must have 4 matches for that team in that session and 6 lifetime in that format by the end of that session (in this example Fall).

*Cities Rosters

Will be your Spring Session ending roster, regardless of the BLAST in which you qualified.

Cities Eligibility: Players must have 4 matches for that team in the Spring session and 10 lifetime in that format by the end of the Spring session. Summer session does not count towards these match requirements.

*Cities rosters will be your Vegas roster

Common questions

Q: We won a spot in the Fall BLAST but I changed my Spring roster for a few players, will these new players play for our team in the Fall BLAST?
A: No, your Fall BLAST roster will be the roster you finished the Fall session. Players in the Fall must have met the BLAST eligibility to show up for your team.
