BLAST has announced their plans to host two popular esports events in Singapore in 2024 and 2025. The country will host the BLAST Premier World Finals from 30th October to 3rd November 2024 with a prize pool of $1.000.000. This will mark the first time Singapore hosted the BLAST Arena, where top players and teams from CounterStrike 2 from around the world will compete.
The World Final will be the biggest Counter-Strike event to take place in Singapore, where the world’s best eight Counter-Strike 2 teams will compete for a massive prize pool and the chance to claim bragging rights as the best team around.
Currently, five teams already qualified for the World Final. The teams are NAVI, Team Spirit, Team Vitality, FaZe Clan, and G2 Esports.
James Woollard, Director of Market Development at BLAST, said:
"We are incredibly excited to bring two of the biggest esports titles to this vibrant destination. Over the coming 18 months, Singapore will become a major hub for esports in Southeast Asia, and with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences for fans while helping to build a thriving esports ecosystem in the region.
Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said:
"We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore. The Counter-Strike event marks the first BLAST-branded event in Southeast Asia and the inaugural Counter-Strike tournament series in the region, solidifying Singapore's position as a world-class esports destination.
We are confident that the international participants and their legions of fans will have a memorable experience in Singapore, immersing themselves in the diverse and dynamic offerings of our city.”
