Straight from the party during BLAST Spring Final in London, this Confirmed is totally unhinged: VP of BLAST shares insight on the 2025 Major (and its trophy) as well as new BLAST circuit, CYPHER shares on kassad's BLEED, smooya getting smashed on air, and hawka helping us go in-depth on the Spring Final results. And, of course, G2 takes throughout the show. Enjoy!

    Smooya seems to be a genuinely nice guy who with the best of intentions creates the biggest of shit storms. Man deserves to play for a good team given his skill
  • @Maybeabandaid9
    "smooya inevitably leaks the rest of the lineup" Editor deserves a raise.
  • @AM2K2
    Smooya is hilarious - best guest

    Been to a few events in southern california & valorant’s vct americas use smaller venues for group stage/league matches as well, not just the big playoff matchups. It’s usually packed & still noisy for a smaller venue. Made me realize post covid CS has only been studio venues until the playoffs (except for like the rio major).. btw been to IEM Oakland, Dreamhack Anaheim, IBP & Blast LA, please give west coast another S tier event 🙏

    The amount of people that genuinely think Niko should IGL is nuts. How many times have we seen a star player in their prime try to IGL, do well for a bit, then never do anything again after teams figure them out. Electronic, shox, yekindar, Niko already, blameF, device (coming soon)
