This year’s BLAST Premier series opens even more to teams with an ambition to compete at the highest level. BLAST continues and expands cooperation with partners to give teams from almost all over the world a chance to compete. Selected partners will organize events, which will be a qualifying way to this year’s BLAST Premier Showdown tournaments – both spring and autumn, which are a part of a cycle with $4.250.000 prize pool.
One of the partners is a gaming agency Fantasyexpo, which will take care of the games for Western Europe, which includes the following countries: Poland, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Fantasyexpo has been cooperating with BLAST for over 4 years. During this time, both entities had the same goals in mind – professionalization and development of the esports ecosystem. After organizing the BLAST Rising tournament last year, polish company gained the trust of the international brand and will take care of the organization of the games for one of the most important regions in the Counter-Strike scene.
We are glad that we can cooperate with Fantasyexpo again. They have a proven and documented experience in creating amazing Counter Strike events in cooperation with the most talented teams in Western Europe. Our goal in 2021 is to make BLAST Premier the most open and accessible tournament series on the scene. By working with leading regional partners such as Fantasyexpo, we are able to achieve this, because hundreds of teams have a chance to take part in the spring event.
