About

BLAST Premier is a Counter-Strike tournament series whose Twitch channel carries live Counter-Strike 2 competition. It began in 2020 as the successor to BLAST Pro Series.[1][2]

From Pro Series to Premier

BLAST announced the Premier name at its Moscow event in September 2019.[3][4] The original structure split the year into spring and fall seasons. Groups, Showdown qualifiers and seasonal finals provided routes towards a Global Final.[3]

Bounty, Open and Rivals

In November 2024, BLAST set out a different circuit for 2025. Bounty used a 32-team field. Lower seeds chose higher-ranked opponents, and winning teams collected part of an opponent's assigned bounty. Open had 16 teams. Regional Rising events provided qualification routes. Rivals brought together eight teams.[5][2]

BLAST also develops host-city partnerships. In a 2025 interview, its director of market development, James Woollard, described working with the Singapore Tourism Board and AEG Presents Asia on the 2024 World Final.[6]
