Half the teams people expected to make BLAST Open playoffs are already on a plane home. FURIA, FaZe, Liquid, MOUZ, Spirit — all eliminated in group stage. And somehow, that’s not even the biggest story this week.

Pedro, Sam, and guest host Horizon break it all down. Sam debuts a brand new custom rating system built from scratch — duel swing, round swing, and role-adjusted KPR — and the results are shocking. ZywOo sits alone at 100. donk is a full 10 points behind. flameZ is the third-best player in the world. And karrigan? Dead last in tier one.

Then we dig into BLAST Open’s group stage chaos, Spirit’s donk problem (how long until he walks?), FaZe firing Neo with no plan B, Liquid’s never-ending rebuild, and the CS2 ammo update that made everyone panic for about 24 hours. Six rounds of Buy or Sell close it out — including whether karrigan retires this year and whether Spirit can still finish 2026 as a top 3 team.
