Dota 2 BLAST Slam II: Schedule, brackets, and more

Maybe the last tournament on Patch 7.37e?

After their inaugural Dota 2 event in November 2024, BLAST is back to the fray again with another LAN event from the organization’s Copenhagen-based studio. BLAST Slam II features a $1 million prize pool, just like the last time, with 10 of the top teams fighting it off in single-elimination bracket games across this week.

Incidentally, Dota 2 is still on Patch 7.37e—the patch Slam I was played on—even after more than two months. However, as we saw in Fissure Playground #1 last week, the meta has been evolving even without Valve’s interception. It’ll be interesting to see whether Dota 2 gets a gameplay patch with Crownfall Act IV ending on Feb 6 in the middle of BLAST Slam II.

Here are all the teams participating in Dota 2 BLAST Slam II. They are all direct invites, as the event had no qualifiers.

  • PARIVISION
  • BetBoom Team
  • Team Falcons
  • Team Liquid
  • Tundra Esports
  • Gaimin Gladiators
  • Nigma Galaxy
  • Xtreme Gaming
  • Yakult Brothers
  • Talon Esports
