BLAST announced its foray into the competitive Dota 2 scene not long ago. Building on our success in Counter-Strike, we only saw it fit to expand our reach into other esports titles, with Dota 2 being our prime focus.
The intention is clear; to establish BLAST Slam into a household name, known for its high-quality production and immersive fan experience, featuring arena shows and LAN studio events with innovative elements.
The best teams in the world will sweat it out at multiple BLAST Slam events, competing for a massive $1,000,000 prize pool.
Multiple storylines will unfold, unforgettable memories will be forged, and fans will be on the edge of their seats as they cheer for their favourite teams.
BLAST Slam events will feature an exciting mix of studio battles and arena shows, pitting the best teams and the biggest superstars against each other and bringing an unparalleled viewing experience for the fans.
This will leave a lasting impression of freshness, just like a cool breeze on a hot day, infusing more excitement for future events. We pride ourselves on being the most entertaining & engaging TO, we are committed to bringing the best events and making BLAST the new epicentre for high-level Dota 2.
Andrew Haworth, VP of Valve Ecosystems at BLAST, has the following to share:
"Since we announced that we’re entering Dota 2 we’ve been working on some incredible production surprises that we look forward to bringing to the fans across the world. The BLAST Slam format will bring high intensity and jeopardy to every match keeping the fans entertained at every step of the way.
We’ll be bringing the best teams to every BLAST Slam. In our studio events, we’ll get close to them going behind the scenes to tell the stories of the best players in the world. In our arena events, we’ll bring the best production to give the players the platform they deserve to shine."
But that’s not all, with BLAST.tv, we aim to bring an immersive viewing experience to the viewers on our own streaming platform.
Rory McEvoy, the Head of Product, BLAST.tv had this to say about our ambition:
“We are super excited to bring BLAST.tv to DOTA fans. We have some big plans ahead which we can’t wait to deliver. The BLAST.tv watch experience will take all the things you love from Twitch and add interactive elements, live stats as the game unfolds and much more. We are also always going to listen to the fans - if there are features they are looking for we will always look to integrate them into our site.”
Stay tuned for all the latest updates as we dive deep into the glamorous world of Dota 2.
