The qualification process for BLAST Open Fall 2025 will be held in an online format, while the main tournament will take place in person at the OVO Arena Wembley in London, UK. Some members of The Mongolz might have encountered difficulties with their visas, which could prevent their participation in the event. In a related development, Aurora Gaming has decided to withdraw from the qualifiers, thereby allowing paiN Gaming to take their place in the competition.
This decision to step back was primarily due to ongoing visa complications. Initially, Team Liquid also signed up for the qualification rounds but were unfortunately eliminated in the very first round by VP.Prodigy. In addition to this, Aurora Gaming had previously declined their invitation to participate in the event.
