The BLAST Bounty Winter 2026 event is ramping up after a brief pause following its closed qualifier phase. The competition is set to resume this afternoon with high-stakes matches that have everyone anticipating an exciting finish to the weekend.

After several days off, the tournament returns with the playoffs now beginning. In just a few hours, the first two out of a total of four quarterfinal contests will commence, while the remaining pair are scheduled for the following day.

The pairings were settled during a recent Draft Show session, where the lower-ranked teams were given the opportunity to choose their preferred opponents from the higher-ranked teams. This process has led to some highly anticipated match-ups, complete with detailed timing and scheduling that are available below.
