ATK replaced Sharks Esports at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 North America

Tournament operator BLAST has announced changes to the roster of BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 North America. While Sharks Esports will not be able to compete in the championship, ATK will take the place of the Brazilian team.

Due to travel difficulties, Sharks Esports will not be able to participate in BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 North America. As a result, we invited the team to the Fall Showdown, which will take place at the end of the year. Instead, ATK will take a place in the championship and face FURIA in tomorrow's match.

Recall that a few hours ago, the first information appeared about the impossibility of Sharks Esports to participate in the championship. Based on a tweet from the team captain, it appears that problems with tickets purchased by the BLAST organizer for the team have jeopardized the flight of the squad from Brazil to Mexico.

ATK qualified for the championship thanks to their performance at Ace North American Masters: Spring 2022, which saw the team take second place.

BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 North America will take place from April 27 to May 1 online. Eight teams from North and South America will compete for a prize pool of $67,500, rating points, and a ticket to BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2022.
