BLAST Slam VII is a Tier 1 tournament organized by BLAST and conducted through both online and onsite stages. The qualification process is divided across three regions: Europe, China, and Southeast Asia. Each region begins with an Open Qualifier, where the top two teams advance to the Closed Qualifier stage. From the Closed Qualifier, the top two teams secure a spot in the main tournament. All matches in the Open Qualifiers are played in a Best-of-One (Bo1) format, with the exception of the semifinals, which are played as Best-of-Three (Bo3) series. Meanwhile, all matches in the Closed Qualifiers follow a Best-of-Three (Bo3) format.
