The organizers of BLAST Bounty Season 2 have released the full list of matches for the first round. The online tournament will start on August 5, 2025, and will run until August 10. All matches in the first stage will be held in the Play-In format — Round of 32, in a Best-of-3 format.

This tournament does not have a prize pool at the initial stage — the main goal for all participants at this stage is to make it to the top 8 to advance to the next stage of the competition. This creates high competition, as every map counts.
