Veteran Tournament Organizer of the Counter Strike scene has entered the Dota 2 scene with a 6 team European Invitational with a twist, Bounty Hunt. Between June 9th and 13th, 6 of the best European teams will compete for $145,000 USD. The invited teams consist of OG, Team Liquid, NiP, Team Secret, Team Nigma, and Alliance. There will also be an additional $5,000 given out to the winner of the Fan Prediction Contest.
BLAST Bounty Hunt
The event will have a double elimination bracket, like that shown in the WePlay! Mad Moon event. $100,000 will be distributed among the teams as their initial bounties, with an additional $45,000 in extra bounties. Seemingly the teams will rank each other to provide a seeding, with the top 2 seeds starting with a $20,000 bounty and the rest with a $15,000 bounty. The top 2 seeds start in the upper bracket semi-finals and the rest in the upper bracket quarter-finals. Each series 40% of the team's bounty will be up for grabs. If a team is able to go undefeated, they could walk away with up to $51,120 and an additional $45,000 in the "Additional Bounties", totalling the maximum prize to $96,000.
