BLAST Premier has unveiled the location for BLAST Premier Open Season 2, following the conclusion of the first season’s Open in Rotterdam on March 29. Portugal’s fourth appearance on the BLAST calendar will see the best teams in the world head to the country’s second-largest city, Porto.
Like most BLAST tournaments of the VRS-era, the event’s group stage will take place at the TO’s Copenhagen studios. 16 teams will battle it out for their ticket to the Super Bock Arena. The tournament, supported by Turismo de Portugal, will feature a $1.1 Million prize pool split between the player’s share and that of the clubs ($400,000 and $700,000 respectively). The tournament kicks off on Aug. 26, with the arena portion of the event running from Sept. 4 to 6.
