The halloween party sex videonew season begins with a massive 32-team tournament.

Teams and format

BLAST Bounty will mark the start of a new era of Counter-Strike, one where Valve's Regional Standings will determine most of the tournament invites in the circuit.

Thirty-two teams from all over the world will compete in this tournament, which will feature a unique format with a few twists. The top 16 teams per the VRS were assigned a bounty from $15,000 to $60,000, and the lower-ranked teams selected their opponents for the opening round.

ropz will make his Vitality debut on Wednesday

If teams beat a higher-seed, they will claim 50 percent of the bounty as a payout (the rest carries through to the next round) and secure their seed for the second round, where the same process of the lower seeds picking their opponents will be held.

BLAST Bounty will be the first chance to see some of the new teams in action after a busy off-season. The opening day of the tournament will see Guy "?NertZ?" Iluz debut for Liquid and álvaro "?SunPayus?" García play his first game with HEROIC.

The following 32 teams were invited to the event based on their position in the VRS. The MongolZ were set to compete in the tournament but withdrew citing "concerns regarding the health and well-being of our players."

All matches will be played in a best-of-three format with the exception of the grand final, which will be a best-of-five affair.

Prizes

BLAST Bounty will have $500,000 on the line, in addition to $650,000 in participation fees. Because of the tournament's unique format, the amount of money won by the teams will depend on the bounties claimed throughout the tournament.

To make things easier, BLAST created a bounty simulator for fans to keep track of how much money each team has claimed throughout the event.

Talent

Several BLAST regulars will feature on the on-air broadcast team for the first event of the season, with one notable newcomer in Peter "?dupreeh?" Rasmussen.

The five-time Major champion, who was recently benched by Falcons, will make his analyst debut alongside Alex "?Mauisnake?" Ellenberg, Donald "voo" Parkhurst and Jacob "?Pimp?" Winneche.
