BLAST Plans Four Dota 2 Events in 2024-2025

BLAST enters the world of Dota 2.

Tournament organizer BLAST recently announced that it plans to expand its tournament offerings in 2024-2025 to include Valve’s popular MOBA Dota 2. BLAST plans to host its first Dota 2 studio event in November, followed by four events taking place in 2025. BLAST said in its announcement that the new Dota 2 tournament series will be revealed in the summer, along with details on “format, prize pool and locations.”

“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,” said Andrew Haworth, VP of ecosystems – Valve & Riot Games, said in the announcement. “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.”

With the inclusion of Dota 2, BLAST now offers competitive circuits in Fortnite (FNCS), Rocket League (RLCS), Counter-Strike 2, and Rainbow Six Siege. BLAST also announced that its esports live-viewing platform BLAST.tv will add Dota 2 to its line-up of offerings.
