BLAST is teaming up with Copenhagen Gaming Week as the official tournament partner for the Esports Arena ahead of the inaugural Copenhagen Gaming Week event in January 2024.
Copenhagen Gaming Week is Denmark's new international festival encompassing everything related to gaming and esports.
The CS2 tournament at Copenhagen Gaming Week is an unrelated and separate event to the BLAST Premier tournament series.
Visitors of all ages can explore the tech of the future, delve into the hottest trends of the present, and celebrate the retro-gaming classics of the past, all while fostering and expanding a unique community with others who share the same passion.
BLAST has delivered a number of esports tournaments over the last few years across various games, including the global Counter-Strike tournament series BLAST Premier, and will bring a new Counter-Strike 2 tournament to Copenhagen Gaming Week’s esports arena.
“BLAST takes great pride in powering Copenhagen Gaming Week's mission to establish an esports tournament providing more opportunities to the growing local scene in Denmark while offering fans next level entertainment.
Together, we're poised to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans and teams alike, by bringing our unique approach to fan-first production and adrenaline-fueled live events. We have been bringing tier one esports events to Copenhagen since 2017 and are delighted to be able to bring more CS2 to the world outside of our BLAST Premier ecosystem, James Woollard, Head of Commercial for BLAST, said.
Copenhagen Gaming Week's Counter-Strike 2 tournament will capture BLAST’s expertise and technology to showcase a selection of pre-invited world-class teams alongside challengers sourced through an upcoming online pre-tournament, details of which will be released soon.
This qualification phase will allow local and regional teams to vie for a chance to compete on the grand stage alongside established stars.
Kevin Thyge Helsinghof, Commercial Director at Bellagroup, remarks:
“We are thrilled to welcome BLAST on board as a partner at Copenhagen Gaming Week. It’s a pleasure to collaborate with such a strong ally, and we're enthusiastic about delivering a Danish-rooted tournament that unites players, fans, and communities in Bella Arena, which is now taking the next step as an international esports hub."
Copenhagen Gaming Week will take place at Bella Center Copenhagen and Bella Arena from January 12-14, 2024.
More details on the format, teams and qualification process for the CS2 tournament at Copenhagen Gaming Week will be shared in the near future.
