Nerd Street Gamers partners with BLAST Premier

E-sports infrastructure company Nerd Street Gamers has announced a partnership with tournament organizer BLAST Premier to host the official BLAST Premier Fall Showdown qualifier.

The qualifiers will take place at Fragadelphia 15, a local American LAN event hosted by Fragadelphia and Nerd Street Gamers on September 10-12. The prize fund of the tournament will be $ 60,000.

Teams competing at Fragadelphia 15 at Philadelphia Gamers on Nerd Street are expected to be provided with lodging and food throughout the event.

According to a press release, the top four teams from the tournament will move on to the four invited North American teams and compete for a spot in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown.

The integration of Fragadelphia into the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown qualification system was described as a "logical marriage", especially since both organizations saw the event as a showcase of amateur talent. As a result, the company secured partnerships with players such as DouYu, Firesports, Fantasyexpo, and Nerd Street Gamers.

Nerd Street Gamers also announced that ExtraSalt, Pain and GODSENT were three of the invited teams announced to compete in the qualifying championship.

Note that this year's BLAST Premier Fall Showdown qualifiers, which run from July to September, will cover the Nordic countries, South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Iberia, North America, China and the Middle East.
