When is BLAST Open Lisbon?
BLAST Open Lisbon will take place in March 2025 and will be split into two stages.
The first stage will take place in the BLAST Studios in Copenhagen, where two groups of eight teams will battle it out in a double-elimination bracket to decide the six teams that will advance to playoffs.
After a short break, those teams will then make their way to Lisbon, where they will again do battle to see who will become the first ever BLAST Open champions.

BLAST Open is one of three exciting new tournament formats coming to BLAST in 2025.
16 teams will enter a LAN group stage at the BLAST Studios in Copenhagen. They'll be split into two groups where they will then play out a BO3 double-elimination bracket to see which six teams will get a chance to get their hands on a trophy in the playoff stage.
The playoff stage will see the teams flown to a new venue where they will then play out a single-elimination bracket, with BO3s for the quarter and semi-finals, and a BO5 grand final.
12 of the teams in attendance will be decided by the Valve Global Ranking, and the remaining four will earn their chance to play at the event through competing in regional qualifiers, known as BLAST Rising.
There will be four of these BLAST Rising events, with EU, NA, SA, and Asian teams all getting an opportunity to rise above the other teams within their respective regions and compete among the big boys.
