BLAST Premier has partnered with Counter-Strike skin trading site Tradeit.gg ahead for the 2024 season.
Tradeit.gg teams up with BLAST Premier as a Global Partner for the entirety of the 2024 season, starting with this month’s Spring Groups in January all the way through to the highly-anticipated $1 million World Final in November to end the year.

Tradeit.gg will also have access to booth space for in-person activations at BLAST’s arena events throughout the year.
The BLAST community can also expect skin giveaways hosted by Tradeit.gg running alongside Premier events throughout the year with the chance to win some of Counter-Strike's most popular skins.
Alexander Lewin, VP of Distribution and Programming for BLAST, said: “It’s a fantastic time for BLAST Premier after we recently announced the expansion into a 16 team tournament format and now we are delighted to be bringing on board a popular skin trading site like Tradeit.gg for 2024. We are truly excited at the opportunities to integrate Tradeit.gg into our global tournament series that reaches 150+ territories in 27 languages around the world with arena events set to take place in exciting locations such as London and Copenhagen.”

We look forward to a future where our combined efforts will set new standards in the esports world, demonstrating the power of collaboration in driving forward the industry.”
Since their first implementation into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in 2013, tradable skins have become a core part of the game series, allowing players to own and experience the game with unique designs for their weapons. Skin’s have only grown in popularity over the years and with the launch of Counter-Strike 2, many designs have received changes.
