The bounty hunt is on: BLAST Bounty S2 stacked team list revealed

BLAST Bounty Season 2 is almost here and the invites for the tournament have now been sent.

An innovative format, BLAST Bounty sees the biggest and best teams in the world hunted by underdogs who are all looking to cash in on winning in big upset matches.

Won by Spirit in Season 1 back in January, the Perfect World Shanghai Major champions managed to avoid all upsets as they successfully ran the gauntlet, eventually closing out their first trophy of the year as they took down Eternal Fire in the final with a 3-1 scoreline.

Set to kick off on August 5th, BLAST Bounty Season 2 will feature 32 teams, with the bottom 16 of those getting to choose their opponents in the first round as each team battles it out to earn as much of the $500,000 prizepool as they can get their hands on.

Let's take a look at the invited teams.
