The BLAST Bounty, run by BLAST, was a new CS2 tournament format that sees teams pitted against one other to build a bounty of cash. The top seeded teams were sorted into matches, with the next highest seed allowed to pick their opponent. Do you select a lower-ranked team to make a deeper run, or go for gold and take on the best for a higher cash prize?
