ViCi have withdrawn from the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2021 and will be replaced by Lynn Vision, who were runners-up in the qualifying tournament.

The team featuring former Invictus and EHOME player Heng “⁠expro⁠” Yang are using the opportunity to conduct a multiple-week bootcamp in Europe and will hope to make a mark in the single-elimination tournament featuring squads such as Liquid and G2.

Zhuo “⁠advent⁠” Liang‘s team pulled out of BLAST to focus on the IEM Fall Asia RMR tournament, which takes place on October 5-10, as they would have just one day to travel to Europe and compete in the Showdown on October 12-17. ViCi are currently tied for the first place in the Asia RMR standings, with the results at IEM Fall set to decide whether they or TYLOO will secure a spot at the Major in Stockholm.
