BLAST’s first foray into Dota 2 kicked off with BLAST Slam I. With 10 teams and an unusual structure (at least in Dota esports terms), the $1 million USD tournament has already raised some eyebrows in the MOBA community.

Incidentally, it’s the first tier one tournament since the release of patch 7.37e. So, it’ll likely be somewhat of a departure from the stale 7.37d meta we witnessed since BetBoom Dacha and DreamLeague Season 24.

Here are all the teams participating in Dota 2 BLAST Slam I (all of them are direct invites, the event had no qualifiers).

  • Team Liquid
  • Team Falcons
  • Team Spirit
  • OG
  • BetBoom Team
  • Gaimin Gladiators
  • HEROIC
  • Xtreme Gaming
  • Tundra Esports
  • PARIVISION
