BLAST director of product and experience Nicolas Estrup explained his thoughts behind the invitational in a press release.

“VALORANT has enjoyed record-breaking success since its launch in June and has fast become a fan-favorite,” he said. “We look forward to showing the community what BLAST can bring to the table with our industry-leading production and popular fan-first approach.”

BLAST is known primarily for CS:GO hosting the Blast Pro Series, and the Blast Premier. The organizers have only recently expanded to other games, hosting a Bounty Hunt event for Dota 2 in May, 2020, and now The BLAST VALORANT Twitch Invitational.
