The BLAST Premier Global Finals

The BLAST Premier Global Finals is the culmination of the 2020 competitive year for BLAST events. While RFRSH has not yet announced the dates for their 2020 tournaments, we can expect RFRSH to host events at any location. The BLAST Pro Series 2019 Global Finals will take place in the Kingdom of Bahrain, despite concerns of hosting events in the country, following its poor track record in Human Rights.

The next evolution of our tournament series is going to blow people away. We have spent months developing the right format. A format that will create the greatest entertainment product for fans at events and viewers watching across the world. We believe we have perfected that format.

We will finish the year with a surge of excitement as we crown the 2019 BLAST Pro Series Champion. And we look forward to creating something incredible in esports with BLAST PREMIER in 2020.

Robbie Douek, CEO, BLAST

The $1.5 million prize pool Global Finals will feature eight teams, presumable four from each season. The tournament series format allows any team to reach the Global Finals and have a chance at winning the Global Finals.

After ESL Pro Tour, BLAST’s announcement will increase the competition in the CSGO Tournament circuit. XYZ won the BLAST Pro Series Moscow after a surprising Grand finals between the two CIS teams. Let us know what you think of the BLAST Premier tournament circuit in comments below.
