International tournament organizer BLAST announced Tuesday a new partnership with prediction market platform Polymarket.
Financial terms of this deal, which will run through the remainder of 2026, were not disclosed.
Under the terms of the deal, Polymarket has been named the official prediction partner of BLAST throughout 2026, covering multiple Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 tournament competitions including BLAST Premier and BLAST Slam.
In total, Polymarket will be integrated across seven of BLAST’s global Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 events, beginning with BLAST Slam VI in Malta. Both Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2 events will also feature “bespoke content pieces used in broadcast as well as desk segments highlighting the platform’s integration into BLAST’s events,” per the announcement.
In addition, Polymarket will receive “prominent visibility” during live broadcasts, arena events, and in digital content, and its branding will be featured across BLAST’s broadcasts through “digital integrations and physical prints.”
Finally, Polymarket will work with BLAST to create on-site fan experiences such as the Polymarket Fancam and have the ability to host creators and streamers at arena events via dedicated event streaming booths.
The BLAST Premier 2026 calendar now associated with Polymarket includes stops in Rotterdam, Fort Worth, and Hong Kong, as well as the BLAST Slam circuit. BLAST’s latest Dota 2 event is the BLAST Slam VI in Malta, which started on Feb. 3, and runs until Feb. 15.
