BLAST, one of the most respected CS2 tournament organisers is ready to make a splash in Dota 2 in 2024 and 2025.
BLAST’s plans for Dota 2 for this and the next year include five tournaments that aim to provide fans “with the best esports entertainment on offer,” Andrew Haworth, VP of Ecosystems, Valve & Riot Games said.
This is the second time when BLAST sets foot into the Dota 2 world. Their first attempt was made in 2020, during the pandemic when they proposed a different approach to the competitive scene through BLAST Bounty Hunt. The event was held online and proposed a format inspired by the fan's favorite Midas Mode.
Four years later, BLAST announced its commitment to Dota 2 with more than just tournament dates. The tournament organiser aims to become a true hub for the game fans by providing news, mini-games, exclusive content and player stats across all their tournaments.
Andrew Haworth, VP of Ecosystems, Valve & Riot Games, said:
“We are delighted to be entering Dota 2 and have plans for BLAST to bring a new level of production and excitement that Dota fans haven’t seen before.
It’s a game we love as fans and players, we’ve been following closely as an interested tournament organiser for the last few years. As we’ve grown as a business and expand into further titles, Dota has always been on our wish list. With the recent changes to the Dota ecosystem we feel it’s the perfect opportunity for BLAST to come in, provide the community with the next level of tournaments and become the new home of Dota 2.
BLAST prides itself on unparalleled production quality and game changing fan-first moments while bringing together the very best teams and biggest superstars to fight it out for glory on the server. We look forward to bringing this approach to the world of Dota 2 and providing fans with the best esports entertainment on offer.”
