BLAST is shaking up the Dota 2 scene like a well-timed Earthshaker ultimate with some serious Dota 2 action in 2024 and 2025.
This strategic move marks a significant expansion of BLAST's tournament portfolio, further diversifying its offerings beyond its successful ventures in Fortnite (FNCS), Rocket League (RLCS), Counter-Strike, and Rainbow Six Siege.
Mark your calendars for November 2024 because that's when the first Dota 2 event kicks off the mayhem. Four other events are planned to take place in 2025.
The full extent of the new Dota 2 tournament series will be revealed in the summer, when further information on the format, prize pool and locations will be shared.
But that is not all.
BLAST.tv will become your fountain of Dota 2 information. From player stats across all tournaments, to news, mini-games and exclusive content. The site will become your go-to hub for all things Dota 2.
Andrew Haworth, VP of Ecosystems, Valve & Riot Games, said:
“We are delighted to be entering Dota 2 and have plans for BLAST to bring a new level of production and excitement that Dota fans haven’t seen before.
It’s a game we love as fans and players, we’ve been following closely as an interested tournament organiser for the last few years. As we’ve grown as a business and expand into further titles, Dota has always been on our wish list. With the recent changes to the Dota ecosystem we feel it’s the perfect opportunity for BLAST to come in, provide the community with the next level of tournaments and become the new home of Dota 2,"
“BLAST prides itself on unparalleled production quality and game changing fan-first moments while bringing together the very best teams and biggest superstars to fight it out for glory on the server. We look forward to bringing this approach to the world of Dota 2 and providing fans with the best esports entertainment on offer.”
