BLAST reveal location for $1 million tournament in November

We're heading east for the second season of BLAST Rivals!

This fall, Hong Kong will host its biggest esports event to date as BLAST Premier Rivals heads to AsiaWorld-Arena. The tournament will run from November 12–16, 2025, and marks the first top-tier Counter-Strike event ever held in the region.

A total of eight teams will compete for the $1,000,000 prize pool. Four of them will be invited based on the Valve Regional Standings (VRS), while the remaining four will qualify through regional wildcard spots representing Europe, North America, South America, and Asia.

The tournament is part of the newly introduced BLAST Rivals series, which launched earlier this year. Vitality claimed the first Rivals trophy in Copenhagen back in March.

Ticket sales are expected to open soon. Fans can sign up at BLAST.tv for early access and further event updates.
