BLAST has released updated dates for RMR tournaments by adjusting their tournament schedule

Tournament operator BLAST has presented updated dates of RMR tournaments for BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, having adjusted the schedule of its tournaments. As a result, the organizers abandoned the uniform dates of the championships in three regions in order to fit into the schedule of the BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2023 event in Europe and America.

After working closely with teams and key community members, we have decided to move BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2023 forward two weeks to better accommodate player and team travel as many take part in the upcoming BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and other events in April.

Thus, BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2023 in Europe and America will be held online from March 29 to April 2. This change also affects the dates of RMR tournaments:

• BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A — April 6-9 (Copenhagen)
• BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B — April 11-14 (Copenhagen)
• BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: Europe RMR Decider — April 15 (Copenhagen)
• BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR — April 5-9 (Monterrey)
• BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Asia RMR — April 4-8 (Ulaanbaatar)

Earlier, the organizers also increased the number of open qualifiers for Europe and America, as they faced a wave of criticism from pro-players and members of the community.
