16 teams will be fighting for a chance to get Legend status at the upcoming BLAST Paris Major. With top teams such as Natus Vincere, FaZe, Outsiders, MOUZ, and Fnatic, the qualifier will be a close encounter between the world’s best and the upcoming rosters who on the day can take down any opponent they face. However, there are two clear favorites to make it through, Natus Vincere and FaZe Clan. Despite both teams haven’t been playing their best Counter-Strike since the new season, there shouldn’t be any doubt that they will seal the deal and qualify for the BLAST Paris Major as Legends.
