BLAST Slam II Details
Among the many tournaments set to happen this season, BLAST Slam II stands out with its unique, high-pressure format. The competition will feature two Group Stages, during which four teams will face elimination. The remaining six will then advance to a single-elimination Playoff bracket, where every game is do-or-die.
The event will take place from February 3 to 9, in a LAN setting at the BLAST Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark. A substantial $1 million prize pool will be up for grabs, with $250,000 of that awarded as team earnings. The remaining $750,000 will then be fought over by the teams, with the champion set to walk away with the lion's share of $300,000.
BLAST Slam II is just one of several exciting tier-one tournaments marking the start of the 2025 competitive Dota 2 season. The action begins with FISSURE Playground #1 on January 24, followed by BLAST Slam II. Shortly after, fans can look forward to events like DreamLeague Season 25, PGL Wallachia Season 3, and ESL One Raleigh 2025.
