BLAST Premier has announced an updated circuit for 2027, with a $10M investment, up from $8.5M, and an all-LAN format across all six events. The changes follow the current VRS landscape where LAN matches are greatly prioritized in Valve’s system. Alongside the switch back to LAN, BLAST has also scrapped the Frequent Flyer Programme, leaving teams free to skip particular events as they see fit, without risking a significant loss of revenue.
