In an exciting move, tournament organizer BLAST is stepping into the world of mobile esports with BLAST Bash, an online event featuring three popular Supercell titles: Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, and Brawl Stars. This marks BLAST’s first foray into the mobile gaming sector, expanding its already impressive esports portfolio.
BLAST Bash: Tournament Schedule and Prize Pool
The event will host three distinct competitions in October:
- BLAST Brawl 2024: October 10-11
- BLAST Royale 2024: October 12-13
- BLAST Clash 2024: October 12-13
Winners of BLAST Clash and BLAST Royale will take home $15,000, while the top performer in each region for BLAST Brawl will also earn $15,000.
Tournament Format Breakdown
- BLAST Brawl 2024: Open qualifiers will be held for teams in Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and North America (NA). The best teams from each region will move on to a single-elimination bracket featuring eight teams.
- BLAST Royale 2024: This tournament will invite eight teams to compete in a double-elimination bracket, making for a more exclusive competition.
- BLAST Clash 2024: Like BLAST Brawl, open qualifiers will be held before the top eight teams face off in a single-elimination bracket.
BLAST’s Growing Presence in Esports
This announcement comes as BLAST continues to expand its esports offerings. The organizer, best known for its work in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) and Dota 2, has recently moved into games like Fortnite, Rocket League, and TopSpin 2K25. However, this new event marks their debut in mobile esports, a growing segment of the competitive gaming world.
While mobile esports titles like Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans, and Clash Royale may be more niche compared to BLAST’s traditional games like Rainbow Six Siege or Counter-Strike, they have proven to be popular within the mobile gaming community.
Supercell, the developer of these games, has a history of organizing successful esports events, such as the Brawl Stars World Finals, which have been held annually since 2019. The 2024 edition of this tournament will take place in Helsinki, Finland, this November.
Conclusion
BLAST’s entry into mobile esports with BLAST Bash is a significant move, showing the company’s intent to dominate a broader spectrum of the esports industry.
With tournaments for Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, and Brawl Stars, BLAST is setting the stage for mobile esports to grow even further, offering competitive players exciting opportunities to shine.
