In a recent blog post made on their official website, BLAST has confirmed that they have a series of thrilling Dota 2 events lined up for 2024 and 2025.
For the uninitiated, BLAST has organized several top-tier tournaments for popular esports titles including Counter-Strike, Fortnite, Rocket League, and Rainbow Six Siege.

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.”
Alongside organizing several upcoming tournaments, BLAST.tv is also set to become a hub for all Dota 2 related information, featuring player stats across all tournaments, news, mini-games and exclusive content.
