The broadcast will feature BLAST's usual lineup of on-air talent.

The organizers of BLAST Premier Global Final have announced the on-air team who will bring you the action at the $1 million tournament, featuring their favorite desk-commentator-interviewer combination.

James "⁠BanKs⁠" Banks will lead the analysis as usual, and he will be accompanied by Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez and Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche on the desk, while Freya Spiers will conduct interviews with the teams.

BanKs will host the desk alongside Maniac and Pimp
